Shirt of Flame: A Year with St. Therese of Lisieux
What do heather King and St. Thérèse of Lisieux have in common? Their lives of faith have been propelled by a revolutionary refusal to reduce their desire for happiness. Read this book and you will want to join them in their defense of the desires that make us human.--Msgr. Lorenzo Albacete, author ofGod at the Ritz "Heather King's sojourn with Saint Thérèse of Lisieux is a magnificent testimony not only to the Catholic conviction that the Saints endure in the life of the Church as real friends and lively companions, but also the uncanny ability of the "Little Flower" to graciously insinuate herself into the lives of the most unexpected people in the most surprising of circumstances. One of the year's best reads in Catholic spirituality!" --Father Robert Barron, Francis Cardinal George Professor of Faith and CultureFounder and Director of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries "Heather King's incisive honesty draws me in, makes me feel her agonies and joys, and sends me away enriched. St. Thérèse must be very pleased."--Robert J. Edmonson, C.J., translator and editor,The Story of a Soul: A New Translation
