Publisher's Synopsis
St. Therese of Lisieux's Little Way has been embraced by people of all walks of life. Though she only lived to the age of twenty-four and spent almost her entire life at her family home and in the Carmelite convent, St. Therese of Lisieux displayed a love for Jesus and a passion for his gospel that have made her the patroness of the missions. The Little Flower's humility and childlike trust are still powerful examples of how ordinary people can grow closer to Jesus and respond to Pope Francis's call for a new evangelisation. The calls to holiness and to witness to Christ can seem daunting, but as Susan Muto -- renowned speaker and expert on Carmelite spirituality -- explains, Therese shows us that they are neither difficult nor dramatic. The Little Way can be lived by any of us, even with what Therese called the "ministry of the smile." With deep insight and warm personal devotion, Muto explains the Little Way and will help you put twelve dimensions of it into practice, drawing others to Christ by living a simple, joyful life.
