Little things

Hallelujah! A fantastic book about St Therese life. Have listened to this twice now and will listen to again.

Beautiful Soul!

Saint Teresa is a great soul, and her life is a testament of pure love.

Epilogue was too short

The biography was interesting and well performed. My only disappointment was that it didn’t include details of the final diagnosis that lead to her passing; and details regarding her nomination and acceptance into sainthood.

I wish he would have said “Sister”

Such a pet peeve they let the narrator say “Sir Therese” when the Sr is short for SISTER. It was such a bother and took me out of the story often, I would suggest a different narrator for Catholic listeners that care how Sister Therese is spoken about, not with masculine pronouns 🤦‍♀️☹️

Beautiful

A beautiful story, narrated so lovely that, though the voice of a man, I felt St. Therese's heart speaking to me. I recommend this for everyone.
