A retreat with Saint Therese

This book provides more than information, it presents the quintessential spirit of Therese Martin which is a challenge to the 'normal' approach to the Christian life. One cannot help comparing her complete singlemindedness with the compromises that most of us accept as satisfactory Christianity. It removes complacency and at the same time presents with inescapable clarity the one goal of the Christian life, which is faith-inspired unconditional love. It is not rigid. It is not judgemental, it simply shows that unselfish love is the only way to live the Christian faith. I use it for meditation.
