The Autobiography of Saint Therese of Lisieux

Known as "The Little Flower of Jesus", Saint Therese of Lisieux spent nine years as a Carmelite religious. After serving in various offices, such as sacristan and novice mistress, she spent her final year-and-a-half in a night of faith and died of tuberculosis at the age of 24. The impact of her posthumous autobiography was great, and she became one of the most popular saints of the twentieth century. She was beatified in 1923, and canonized in 1925. Here is her heartwarming autobiography in a gift edition, presented simply—free of the scholarly commentary, prefaces, footnotes, and supplements that have ballooned many current editions. Read this uplifting book from the Little Flower, and rediscover the meaning of charity, patience, selfless kindness, true penance and self-control.
