description: This powerful volume of religious fiction gathers three short stories by the French literary master Georges Bernanos, best known for his profoundly moving novel The Diary of a Country Priest.Though written independently of each other, these works share a common theme -- Bernanos's deep conviction that what will save our world is not intellectual achievement, political effort, technological progress, or theological acumen, but the heroism of innocence. In each of these stories Bernanos portrays young women as embodiments of the power of Christian innocence.Contents:- Joan, heretic and saint translated by R. Batchelor- Sermon of an agnostic on the feast of St. Thérèse translated by Pamela Morris and David Louis Schindler, Jr.- Dialogues of the Carmelites translated by Michael Legat
