4.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for devotees of the Little Flower, March 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Passion of Therese of Lisieux: The Story of the Final Months in the Life of This Modern Saint (Paperback)

This book provides a clinical report of the last agonizing months of Therese of Lisieux's life. The research is meticulous and the medical details are easy to understand. It is a complement to the Saint's writings because the reader can trace in this book her physical trials which help to understand her spiritual trials as well which were plaguing her at the time. My only criticism is that the second part of the book is a bit redundant to the first.

This review is from: The Passion of Therese of Lisieux: The Story of the Final Months in the Life of This Modern Saint (Paperback)

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.

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