Maurice and Therese

Rating:
Summary: Truly wonderful book on Saint Therese.
Review: This book offers us not only Therese's own words, but a good insight from the author about Therese's life. We see more than what seems to have become the too sweet Saint. We are able to look at how much she had to suffer, and how much she relied only on God to take her beyond that suffering.

Summary: Why is this book out of print?
Review: This is a fantastic book! I enjoyed reading it immensely, and I want to give copies away to friends. I am sad to see it is out of print. It really should be brought back. It has a powerful synthesis of the Little Way, and the correspondence with Maurice brings this out very well. It becomes a correspondence and a comparison between a saint and someone who is trying to become one. Most of us can relate well with Maurice. The way St Therese relates with him helps me see the role of the saints in our life.

Bring this book back in print!!!

Summary: I'd like to give everyone I know a copy of this book!
Review: This is the only book I've ever finished and started over again. I didn't know much about Therese, and less about Maurice, but this book makes you want to read more about Therese. One reviewer called this book a "gift," and I couldn't agree more. The story of a cloistered nun in 19th century France might not seem very relevant today, but God's love is, and that's what this book is about. If Therese had one message, it was "God is love." We need to hear that as much now as a hundred years ago in France.

Summary: Beautiful!
Review: What a treasure this book is. It's an unassuming story that is full of great depth and wisdom. Therese comes out of the pages in ways that I never saw in her autobiography.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: What a wonderful book about a wonderful saint! This book, while not a difficult read, is certainly rich in emotion, beauty, and spirituality. If you have read St.Therese's "Story of a Soul", this is an excellent "second book" to read. It tells of the story of a relationship between a seminarian/priest and St.Therese in her last days. I recommend it for anyone's spiritual edification, especially Catholic Christians.

Summary: A fundamental book for all who love her ... Saint Therese!
Review: When I thought I had read everything about Saint Therese and her little way, I read Maurice and Therese ... The relationship of "petite Therese" and Maurice talks to the heart of everyone trying to walk the path of the "little way". It is a book I wish was translated to my language, so all of my contry, so found of this saint, could love her even more ... This book is a surprise even for those who already read the complete works of Saint Terese, including all of her letters.
