St. Therese

I have not read the book yet, but am looking forward to it very much.

The Passion of Therese of Lisieux: The Story of the Final Months in the Life of This Modern Saint

For Saint Therese lovers- this book offers a new perspective on her last sufferings. The author uses a method of illuminating her words with the real physical progression of the tuberculosis that took her life. This approach makes each statement of Therese come alive with new a insight into the sanctity of her soul, and it increases in the reader a desire to imitate her in her love and trust of God.

Therese and Tuberculosis

Excellent read !! There are many books about Therese. This one stands out because it presents her profound spirituality in light of the progression of her extensive illness of Tuberculosis. There is much to learn about both the effects of illness on the spiritual life and the almost ideal response to illness of one seriously seeking God.

astonishing

Most books gloss over the last months of St. Therese, possibly because up until the last 40 years TB was so common that nobody really needed to hear an in depth discussion of it. After reading this book you will be deeply moved. St. Therese went through a long dark night of the soul and body and although physically crushed she spiritually soared above it. I would definitely say that this book belongs in your collection of works on the Little Flower.

A splendid enhancement to "Last Conversations"

Rich in detail of Therese's last months; a powerful framework for Last Conversations.
