Salt and Light by Bernadette Chovelon

Salt and Light by Bernadette Chovelon

lisabeth and F lix Leseur began their life together in France as a carefree young couple with a bright future ahead of them. They were beautifully and compatibly matched, except for one major difference-- lisabeth was a devout Catholic, and F lix was a firmly decided atheist. As they faced the seasons of life together, their relationship was tested, and both were called to deep spiritual transformation.

Out of love for her husband, lisabeth spent her life offering her many sufferings for the sake of his conversion. After her death, and in response to the profound love he encountered in her writings, F lix converted and offered the rest of his life to God as a Dominican priest.

This biography is a lovely narrative of their marriage and the transformative power of God's love and grace in their lives. It also presents a charming picture of upper-middle-class French society at the turn of the last century. The cause for the canonization of lisabeth Leseur has been opened by the Catholic Church.

Bernadette Chovelon, Doctor of Letters and Philosophy, is a French author who specializes in the psychology and spirituality of marriage. She has published several spiritual biographies of well-known married couples in Europe.
