| Synopsis: |
In this refreshing and inspiring book, Brother Michael McGrath invites us on a mystical Journey with Therese of Lisieux and into the artist that dwells within each of us. Dispensing with the sugary and overly pious representations of Therese, McGrath reveals the real saint and Doctor of the Church through selections from her own writings, written meditations, and 50 pieces of original artwork depicting scenes of her life-from the playful to the painful, human to the holy, seeker to the saint. The result is that we come to know Therese as a multitalented artist of painting, writing, praying, and connecting. We come to see the depth of her devotion to God and power of her spiritual wisdom. And we follow her as a trustworthy guide on our pilgrim path toward God. |
