Praise for Life Lessons from St. Thérèse of Lisieux

“Once again, Br. Joseph Schmidt leads us through the spiritual journey of experiencing the Divine in our daily lives. Using Thérèse’s life experience and teachings as she listened to God, Br. Joe plumbs the depth of her transformation and awakening. His latest book stirs up the subtle, hidden, and powerful ways God is inviting us into intimacy and transformation in the very humanity of real life. His insights into this youngest Doctor of the Church enable us to see God in the ordinary of life where “everything is grace” and how to mentor our restless hearts in response to the restless and ever-present heart of God. This is a delightful, energizing, and easy read with profound and practical insights into how to live a life of grace and gratitude.”

—Fr. Bob Colaresi, OCarm, Society of the Little Flower

“This is an extraordinary book written for the person seeking to live more peacefully and deepen his/her relationship with a loving God. The authors skillfully invite the reader to travel with Thérèse as there is a transformation from compulsive behavior to inner peace. She becomes an advocate for nonviolence for herself and toward others.”
