Saint Therese Of Lisieux

This book traces the evolution of Saint Therese's spirituality through the two volumes of her published General Correspondence. Each chapter is devoted to a particular correspondent and explores the nature and scope of the rapport Therese established with this individual.To achieve his objective, W. Bruce Ingram employs the avant-garde medium of "e;Found Poetry"e; (see the Introduction for an explanation of this literary sub-genre), which has never before been applied to the vast output of Theresian scholarship. It is his hope that this collection of fifty-one found poems-abridged facets of a?ectionate exchanges that encapsulate the essence of the correspondence-will act as a gateway, a catalyst, prompting a more in-depth study of and prayerful reflection on the doctrine of Saint Therese's "e;Little Way of Spiritual Childhood."e;Saint Therese of Lisieux: A Study In Verse o?ers anyone interested in spiritual enrichment or in the study of saints, as well as devotees of Saint Therese, a thoughtful and inspiring read.
