St.  Therese of Lisieux: A Transformation in Christ
The writings of St. Th‚rŠse of Lisieux have influenced thousands of people, including American Catholic convert Dorothy Day and Pope John Paul II, who made a pilgrimage to Lisieux in her honor in 1980. Of late there has been a rekindled interest in the precocious Th‚rŠse, who entered the convent at the age of 15 and died of tuberculosis at 26. Despite its title, St. Th‚rŠse of Lisieux: A Transformation in Christ is not a biography and is only loosely based on the writings of the French nun. Thomas Keating explores several parables of Christ from the New Testament, making occasional connections with St. Th‚rŠse's small corpus of writings.Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
