3.0 out of 5 stars QUOTES FROM A GREAT SAINT, January 8, 2007

By	Lloyd M. Shupp (Falls Church, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This hardcover, very thin, little book has a nice organizational plan. The wonderful and inspiring quotes from the writings of St. Thérèse of Lisieux are arranged according to the Virtues of the Holy Rosary and other spiritual virtues: Prayer, The Eucharist, The Church, The Bible, and The Saints. The quotations are taken from three sources, including The Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of Saint Thérèse edited by Mother Agnes of Jesus translated by Michael Day. This is a highly edited version of the original text, not the standard Clark translation preferred today. The biographical introduction to this tiny book has some surprising inaccuracies, and the frontispiece drawing doesn't resemble St. Thérèse at all.
