Thèrése of Lisieux has been called the greatest saint of modern times, but some view her spirituality as sentimental and syrupy. Joseph F. Schmidt, FSC, dispels that notion by contending that Thèrése's "little way" is really the gospel message-a message that can best be understood in the context of her life. Schmidt does a masterful job of weaving together biographical details with Thèrése's profound insights on God's love and mercy. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants an introduction to Thèrése's spirituality as well as for those who desire a deeper appreciation of her "little way" - a way that continues to speak to Catholics today. Includes photographs of Thèrése as a young girl and throughout her life.

Hemrick's practical wisdom will enrich the lives of all priests and help others to better understand this truly remarkable vocation.
