Publisher's summary

The Story of a Soul conveys St. Therese of Lisieux's "Little Way" of spiritual childhood - her "elevator" to Heaven, as she called it. This method was approved by Pope Pius XI as a way for all to grow in holiness through unfailing confidence and childlike delight in God's merciful love.

Again and again in this audiobook, St. Therese shows us how her "Little Way" of love and trust comes straight from Sacred Scripture.

This audiobook belongs in every Catholic home, for Pope St. Pius X called St. Therese of Lisieux the "greatest Saint of modern times".

Food for the soul

A book so exquisite it should be read again and again. Don’t read - contemplate. It never ages.

Well Read

The Saint's innocent thoughts, love of God and of man causes me to ponder, like looking into an beautiful stary sky with the stars representing her profound love. I want to love like she did, but how can I love so purely? Saint Therese's love humbles me.

Please pronounce the last name correctly

I'm just being nit picky, but for goodness sakes learn how to pronounce the last name correctly. I find it strange how the narrator pronounces any other random french word correctly, except for St.Therese's last name. Overall I really like the book and I can get past the performance, but I feel like knowing how to pronounce the last name of the person's whose biography you are reading would be pretty necessary.

Christ, the beloved

Excellent reflections on her love for Jesus and where that took her. Positively not a book for everyone, since her "pursue" of suffering may lead to misinterpretations and more suffering than necessary.

Anyways, it's a very powerful autobiography with a lot of spiritual lessons and gospel interpretations.

The narrator was very pleasing and her voice is soothing. I can almost relate her to Thérèse de Lisieux !

The beauty of the Little Flower

While listening to this spiritual masterpiece, I encountered a great friend in this little saint. Her writing always has something to tell me, and I am always eager to listen. The performance here, in my opinion, truly encapsulates Thérèse childlike attitude. Some complain that it sounds like the narrator is talking down to the reader or that she is talking to children. I can't entirely agree, and I'd suggest listening with this childlikeness in mind.

Beautiful story.

This is a classic book that every Catholic should read. Unfortunately, the narrator over-acted and was overly dramatic which made it difficult to enjoy at times.
