Publisher's summary

The Story of a Soul conveys St. Therese of Lisieux's "Little Way" of spiritual childhood - her "elevator" to Heaven, as she called it. This method was approved by Pope Pius XI as a way for all to grow in holiness through unfailing confidence and childlike delight in God's merciful love.

Again and again in this audiobook, St. Therese shows us how her "Little Way" of love and trust comes straight from Sacred Scripture.

This audiobook belongs in every Catholic home, for Pope St. Pius X called St. Therese of Lisieux the "greatest Saint of modern times".

Food for the soul

A book so exquisite it should be read again and again. Don’t read - contemplate. It never ages.

Beautiful story.

This is a classic book that every Catholic should read. Unfortunately, the narrator over-acted and was overly dramatic which made it difficult to enjoy at times.

Beautiful story— definitely one l will redo many times

The Little Flower is brought to life in this recording. I usually listen to books at 1.3 speed. This book l listened to a 1.0. It enthralled me. The story is excellent and the performance is flawless, clear and exceptionally well paced. A MUST for any Christian library!

Amazing Narration of a Great Book!

The content of this book is very rich and thought proving. It is also inspiring and causing a reader to evaluate his/her way of honoring God. I listened to this book on audible and I have to say that the narration was absolutely outstanding! I am convinced that reading it on my own would make it dry at times, but the performance of the narrator is so perfect and impeccable that it made even the most difficult passages interesting. I never thought of how important the performance of the narrator is before. I surely recommend this book! It's full of love and absolutely incredible insights!

Narrator Comment

Flawed presentation. The syrupy tone of the reader was very distracting at times. She doesn't sound sincere. The speech is very affected and I feel a natural tone of voice would have been perfect,

Please pronounce the last name correctly

I'm just being nit picky, but for goodness sakes learn how to pronounce the last name correctly. I find it strange how the narrator pronounces any other random french word correctly, except for St.Therese's last name. Overall I really like the book and I can get past the performance, but I feel like knowing how to pronounce the last name of the person's whose biography you are reading would be pretty necessary.
