Summary: Great autobiography
Review: God should be praised by allowing this Saint's autobiography to be published and to inspirational. This story, an account of St. Therese of Lisieux's life from what she remembers, is extraordinary. I have read many biographies, but none have been interesting and inspirational at the same time like this one is. Her stories of past faults brings comfort to those overwhelmed by sins they have committed, for it shows us that even the greatest of Saints are still sinners, and the lowliest of all in their own eyes. I suggest this book to all looking for consolation and a great read.

Summary: an inspiring message for all, from a saint for our times
Review: I believe Therese Martin speaks to all people regardless of their religion. Just by following her "little way" we could solve so many problems in our daily lives as well as in the wider world! As I was reading her autobiography there were two main thoughts in my mind: "She's just an ordinary girl like me!" and "She is an exceptional human being whom Jesus is speaking through." This is the power of Therese Martin. She is both ordinary and extraordinary at the same time. Her message is simple and basic and very important. She has worked miracles in my life and you don't need to be a Catholic for her to work miracles in yours.

Summary: The Story of A Soul
Review: I have read this book five times and have taken different spiritual aid from it each time. She is an awesome nun and her work is so profound. I have read about 20 books on St Therese of the child Jesus and the HOly Face(The little flower) and I pray to her on a daily basis. She is my inspiriation. In Her short life, she did little things with great love. She is cosidered the greatest saint of our times and on the centenary of her death in 1997 Pope John paul II made her the youngest female soctor of the church. She lived her life simply and had a great love of the Blessed Mother and Jesus. Upon her death, she said "I want to spend my heaven doing good upon the earth." Also she said, I will send down a shower of roses from heaven. I keep buying new copies of this book and loaning to people and never getting it back.

Review: I love this book. my grandma told me to read it while i was trying to decide what name I wanted to choose for my Confirmation. St. Therese led a simple and beautiful life. She never did anything amazing while on earth, she just loved everybody. I felt that i could actually use her as a role model. And i pray to her all the time.

Summary: An beautiful book about a beautiful and loving saint
Review: Once in a while 'special' kinds of people come to inhabit the earth, living lives that are remarkably pious and outstanding. Therese Martin was one such person. This simple Carmelite nun presents her life in such detail that makes on wonder how blessed she was. Her life is infinitely beautiful; it is like a painting filled with beautiful colurs that one would want to stare at forever. Therese of the Child Jesus is a witness to the Gospel teaching that perfection is attainable here on earth if we try. As a person, she knew her Lord and Master very well and Jesus Christ did use her as an instrument of peace, perfection and simplicity. Today's world is filled with unbelief, frustration, anger and selfishness. Yet, at the end of the nineteenth century, when the industrial revolution was at its peak in Europe, this lady lived a life so holy in practically total isolation in a convent. Nevertheless, her story radiates to all who seek to find it today. She is a testament to the fact that no matter how much knowledge or wealth we have in life, they are worth nothing without love. A number of people have claimed that this book has helped change their direction in life. It is now wonder, for there are times when while reading it, one finds ones eyes filled with tears as a result of the beauty of the life of Therese. Please read this book, whether or not you are a Catholic. Its message is deeply spiritual and universal. The autobiography of Therese of the Child Jesus, presents the story of a simple and loving soul in simple language.

Summary: A Catholic Classic
Review: Rather than doing great deeds for God Saint Therese did little things with GREAT LOVE. One does not have to do great deeds like St. Francis Xavier, one can use everyday life as steps to holiness. All Christians should read this book. An easy read too.

Summary: The Story of a Soul Opens the Heart
Review: St. Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower of Jesus, gave the world a precious gift in putting her life and mission to paper. It doesn't matter where you are in life - this little saint, a sheltered nun in her mere twenties, will touch your very heart and soul with her simplicity and honesty. As she pours out her innermost thoughts and longings on the pages, you will find your own heart opening in the same way to Jesus - just like a flower. The spiritual depth of Therese's work is astounding. Her inspiring autobiography brought the greatest of popes to their knees. Such is the power of God working through even the humblest of vessels. This book will change you for the better, as it has thousands of other souls since its publication!
