Book Description
Balthasar's unique volume on Thérèse of Lisieux and Elizabeth of the Trinity presents a theological biography of each of these holy Carmelite sisters which gives profound insights into their spirituality, showing that their differences actually complement one another. Balthasar probes the depths of the contemplative mission of each of these young Carmelites who both died in their twenties, and gave powerful witness to the critical importance of contemplation as a means to holiness. Each woman is clearly shown as a daughter of her Carmelite heritage with her own emphasis: Thérèse's discovery of the "little way of love" and Elizabeth's focus on the indwelling of God in the soul.

I found my lucky four-leaf clover, not expecting what would happen next. In a small midwestern town in the era of the Great Depression and World War II, two sisters are growing up after the death of their mother. At age sixteen, both married to escape their unhappy home life. Unfortunately, they escaped nothing. Their paths, at times, dangerously affected not only their lives but also the lives of their children, who were growing up in another turbulent time in history, the '60s. But close to home and in the lives of both families, you could hear a loud crying out at night. Is God real? If God is real, why is this happening? Mother, why are you letting this happen? Please, someone, help us!
