The autobiography, letters, songs and prayers of St. Therese of Lisieux are all present in this complete hardcover edition of The Story of a Soul. Saint Therese was born in Alencon, Orne in 1873. Her youth was fraught with peril - the disease enteritis, having claimed the lives of her four siblings, was a grave challenge which she surmounted. Her family was religious, practising fasts and festivals in accordance with the Christian calendar, and practised tenets of the Christian faith such as giving charity to the unfortunate. A religious young prodigy, Therese felt a calling to the Christian faith during her teenage years, journeying to Lisieux in Normandy to begin her life as a cloistered nun. She entered into the convent at the age of fifteen, and soon impressed her peers with her purity of devotion and a deep understanding of many matters of faith. She was well-read, having found and absorbed many of the Christian documents of the past such as the Imitation of Christ. (Cover image by Nheyob.)
