Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux by Thérèse de Lisieux
4.0
After reading, The Happiness Project, I decided to learn more about Saint Thérèse. I found this book sweet and I can see why Thérèse was made a saint. She's charming and so sincere and pure. I want to love God like Saint Thérèse loves God. I'm amazed at St. Thérèse's view on suffering. She found joy in it and that's a really different way to look at suffering.
That being said, I had a hard time relating to her. Maybe she was too perfect for me? Too sheltered? I can't exactly pinpoint it. I left the book feeling that I could never be like Saint Thérèse. I do plan on reading this book again. I like that the forward mentions how people like the book more and more with each read.
4 Stars.
