Translated from the critical edition by John Clarke, OCD, 3rd ed. (1997). Includes general and biblical index, with 8 pages of photos.
Two and a half years before her death in 1897 at the age of 24, as Thérèse Martin began writing down her childhood memories at the request of her blood sisters in the Lisieux Carmel, few could have guessed the eventual outcome. Yet this Story of my soul, first published in 1898 in a highly edited version, quickly became a modern spiritual classic, read by millions and translated into dozens of languages around the world.
Decades later, in response to growing requests from scholars and devotees of the Saint, a facsimile edition of the manuscripts appeared, along with more popular French editions of what the Saint had actually written. Here, expressed with all of Thérèse's original spontaneity and fervor, we rediscover the great themes of her spirituality: confidence and love, the little way, abandonment to God's merciful love, and her mission in the church and world today.
Father John Clarke's acclaimed translation, first published in 1975 and now accepted as the standard throughout the English-speaking world, is a faithful and unaffected rendering of Thérèse's own words, from the original manuscripts. This new edition, prepared for the centenary of the Saint's death, includes a select bibliography of recent works in English on Thérèse, along with a new referencing system now widely used in studies of her doctrine.

Book Description Paper Back. Condition: New. One would be hard-pressed to find a figure in the history of Christianity who had so little about her to indicate greatness. Born in 1873, the youngest of five daughters in a pious bourgeois household, Therese grew up determined to enter the Carmelite order, which was allowed her at the age of fifteen despite the misgivings of her superiors, whose objections she overcame simply by her insistence, ''I want to be a saint.'' She lived the rigorous life of that order, devoutly and obediently, fell ill at the age of twenty-four, and died, leaving nothing but this oddly-disjointed set of memoirs which became The Story of a Soul. Nearly a hundred years later, we can say with confidence that there are only a handful of saints who have influenced the lives and affections of so great a multitude, from the greatest to the most humble. Yet we should not be surprised, for in her life she embodied the most obvious paradoxes of Christian faith: the weak things of the world will humble the powerful, and God's foolishness will put to shame the wisdom of the wise; and holiness will always show forth in unexpected places, even in the life of a French teenage girl whose imagery for Christ and the saints was taken from her cottage flower garden.
