Though she was only twenty-four years old when she died, her writings have had tremendous impact, making her one of the most popular spiritual writers in the twentieth century. Her autobiography, \u003ci\u003eThe Story of a Soul\u003c\/i\u003e, has been a source of priceless inspiration ever since it was written, and has become the great spiritual bestseller of our time. A hundred years after her death in 1897, millions of copies have spread throughout the world and it has been translated into more than fifty languages.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The reason for the continued success of her autobiography is, quite simply, that it is unlike any work of devotion and spiritual insight ever written. Once it is read, it cannot be forgotten. Its appeal across cultures and generations has been extensive, moving both peasants and popes, men and women, young and old-people of every kind of intelligence and education succumb to its spell. Yet is not a conventional work of religious devotion; instead, it is in many ways a supernatural book. In the words of Pope Pius XI, Saint Therese \"attained the knowledge of supernatural things in such abundant measure thatshe was able to point out the sure way of salvation to others,\" and it is especially in \u003ci\u003eThe Story ofa Soul\u003c\/i\u003e that she has pointed out this sure way to the generations that have followed her. As Therese herself said of this book just prior to her death, \"What I have written will do a lot of good. It will make the kindness of God better known.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49564031615249,"sku":"CIN0385029039G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49643930943761,"sku":"GOR002841144","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49668537286929,"sku":"GOR001817085","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49762545926417,"sku":"CIN0385029039A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50144574013713,"sku":"CIN0385029039VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50581926773009,"sku":"GOR001508795","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50983685652753,"sku":"NIN9780385029032","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0385029039.jpg?v=1750696684"},{"product_id":"st-joan-of-arc-book-john-beevers-9780895550439","title":"St.Joan of Arc","description":"The 19-year-old saint who defeated England in 15 months, saved her country, crowned its king, and changed history was burned as a heretic.

She died in 1897 and was canonized in 1925. Yet she is known the world over by Catholics and non-Catholics alike. Her statue soon appeared in most Catholic churches in the world. With St. Joan of Arc, she shares the title Patroness of France and with St. Francis Xavier the honor of Principal Patroness of all Missionaries. Her devotees acknowledge her as a second St. Jude in her powerful intercession with God. Her appeal is universal-from peasants to Popes-and people of all stations know her and call upon her for help. What factors conspired to shape St. Therese of the Child Jesus? John Beevers addresses himself to this question in The Making of a Saint. As author of an earlier biography, The Storm of Glory, and as translator of her autobiography, The Story of a Soul, he brings to his task an authority on her life unsurpassed perhaps by any writer in English. The story of this life is a marvel-a miracle-of divine grace. For the life of St. Therese is the lesson to all men of spiritual greatness to be achieved by perfect love of God and total consecration of all our actions, even the smallest, to His greater honor and glory.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50366361927953,"sku":"CIN0895550350G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50604194955537,"sku":"CIN0895550350VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0895550350.jpg?v=1751140381"},{"product_id":"saint-joan-of-arc-rare-book-john-beevers-1761138704ada","title":"Saint Joan of Arc","description":"1962.
