Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of Saint Therese of Lisieux (Voyager)

"The world is thy ship, and not thy home." - St Thérèse of Lisieux One of the most popular religious autobiographies of all time, this Voyage Classics edition of Story of a Soul by St Thérèse of Lisieux, highlights the Carmelite saint's attraction to the sea and her love of the spiritual symbolism behind it. As she wrote in her autobiography, "the symbol of a ship always delights me, and helps me to bear with my exile. Does not the Wise Man tell us: 'Life is like a ship that passeth through the waves; when it is gone, the trace thereof cannot be found'?" Furthermore, this edition features an original painting that was inspired by St Thérèse's own paintings of a ship sailing in the water towards the Sacred Heart. Dive into the St Thérèse's "little way" with this new edition of a spiritual classic that has stood the test of time. Cover Painting by William Nathans
