1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing; a paraphrase; not worth buying, September 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Simply Surrender: Based on the Little Way of Therese of Lisieux (30 Days with a Great Spiritual Teacher) (Paperback)
This book contains a loose paraphrase of Therese. It does not offer an experience of Therese or of her "way of confidence and love," and suffers from lack of fidelity to her extraordinary writings. If you want to spend 30 days with a great spiritual teacher, read the originals.

1.0 out of 5 stars an unfortunate paraphrase of the writings of a great saint, July 21, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Simply Surrender: Based on the Little Way of Therese of Lisieux (30 Days with a Great Spiritual Teacher) (Paperback)
Instead of reprinting excerpts from the splendid text of Therese, "Simply Surrender" is a poorly written and confusing paraphrase of Therese's ideas, which suffer in the translation. Since this book does not serve making the life and spirituality of St. Therese accessible, please look elsewhere.

This review is from: Simply Surrender: Based on the Little Way of Therese of Lisieux (30 Days with a Great Spiritual Teacher) (Paperback)
This is a 30 day devotional book based on Therese of Lisieux and her writings. It is very insightful and prayerful. I enjoyed this book very much.

First Sentence:
I have always desired to become a saint, but in comparing myself with the saints I have ever felt that I am as far removed from them as a grain of sand, trampled underfoot by the passerby, is from the mountain whose summit is lost in the clouds. Read the first page
