"Sentimental hogwash!"
That's what some Catholics still think about St. Thérèse of Lisieux.
That's what some Catholics still think about St. Thérèse of Lisieux.
They're put off by her sweet reputation and by sugary devotions to her.
Author Henri Gheon was once among those put off by Thérèse’s popularity. Then he discovered how many good Catholics, at home with simple devotions, were soon freed from the pretty-pretties that led them on.
He found the real Thérèse beneath the sugar roses and puffy clouds, behind the platitudes and pet-names that took all the salt out of her heroic story.
Scores of books have been written about Thérèse, but none have taken an unflinching look at her life, sufferings, and sacrifices…
…until now.
The Truth About Thérèse is the first book aimed at those persons, Catholic or not, who resist her, put off by all those roses and crudely painted plastic statues—and even by her virtues.
Read the remarkable pages of this book to discover the real Thérèse of Lisieux, an intense soul living a life of heroic grandeur amidst dull and all-too-worldly associates—a soul driven by a burning love of God even as she wrestled privately with great physical and emotional pain.
This book will show you what lay beyond her smile, why she was canonized, and why Thérèse is the saint most fitted for our day—a model for those of us whom, whether we like it or not, God has called to hidden lives of quiet drama, desire, and holy sacrifice.
