Publisher's summary

Sharing memories from early childhood through her life as a Carmelite nun, Therese opens her heart to us. This bride of Christ reveals her passion and longing for union with God. Her simplicity is charming and we begin to believe that we can travel the path to salvation that she points out to us.

Surprisingly contemporary

If you could sum up The Autobiography of Saint Therese of Lisieux in three words, what would they be?

Honest Faithful Hopeful

What other book might you compare The Autobiography of Saint Therese of Lisieux to and why?

Psalms as St. Therese states almost every recollection as a thankful prayer to God.

Have you listened to any of Sherry Kennedy Brownrigg’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first time.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

All of it was inspiring in particular how I can hear the voice of the young woman come through and easily hear my young daughters and their concerns in the writing.

Any additional comments?

This is a book to read / listen to and put down to come back to over a period of a month as it is inspirational and trying to read it too quickly robs one of the full experience.

She makes me want to draw closer to God

She suffered so much, but counted it all as a blessing!
She was a living saint, but Therese wanted to stay small in her devotional life.
She's my patron saint and now I understand her life much more..
perhaps it's time to pray to be more like her...

The Love of saint therese

This is my tenth reading of this book. It is my favorite book behind the Bible. I loves saint Therese and always try to follow her Little way of spiritual childhood.

Life-changing. So small, and so powerful

This is an autobiography with so many little life lessons that are applicable to people of all walks of life. St. Therese shows us how to use every bit of our day for God’s glory, how to offer up our pains and inconveniences out of love, and to see the beauty of God’s providence even we wish for our own path.

I’m a cradle Catholic who kept putting off this book for years. And, to be honest, it took several months to get through it (little at a time obviously) but that’s worked so well because I listen to her nuggets of wisdom in the car and while washing dishes. She’s been a spiritual companion of sorts! I just finished the book and I’m going to restart it once I finish this review!

Allow God to work through Audible to reach you. I absolitel

I love this book

What made the experience of listening to The Autobiography of Saint Therese of Lisieux the most enjoyable?

I was given this book years ago but my vision was query so I never read it. I am so glad I bought this audio. I have listened to this to this at home, while driving and walking. I find it so pleasant to listen.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I would have to say my favorite characters are Louis and Zelie, her parents. They raised their children to love God and they were all protected from evil influences.

What about Sherry Kennedy Brownrigg’s performance did you like?

I loved the reading by S.K. Brownrigg. Here voice is very pleasant and she sounds young like Therese.

A classic

The holiness of the Martin family remains an inspiration. Her little way has been a light in what can be a dark world.

Utterly Magnificent

The words found here are profound, and this Saint is a worthy Doctor of the Church. My hats off to the narrator, who made the words come alive.

I love this.
