The Story of a Soul
The Story of a Soul, better known to the English public as The Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux, was first published in 1899. Today it ranks amongst the greatest Christian spiritual classics and it has been translated into practically every well-known language. Almost every pope since its publication has proposed St. Therese's teaching to the faithful for their imitation-Pius XI declared her the greatest saint of our age and John Paul II made her a Doctor of the Church.
