Hi All,
I have a gem of a book that I have to share. It has been so spiritually uplifting and helpful as I have gone through quite a bit in the last month with our move and high risk pregnancy. Here is the link...
I Believe In Love
The title is "I Believe in Love" by Fr. Jean C.J. D' Elbee. He has an amazing grasp on St. Therese's spirituality, and brings it to such depth and ease of reading...I spend my 10-20 mins reading it when I can saying, "WOW...brilliant....he is speaking to me....SHE is speaking to me!!" I am a big St. Therese fan, and I can't highly recommend this book enough. There is so much in here about handling worry and anxiety, your relationship with God....and to think a little French nun can be that influential in our lives, I just love her!!
Enjoy!!
ps--How do you get that hyperlink thingy to work?!?

I fixed your link, but I always put my links in manually, so you type (remove spaces)
[ u r l = link ] description of link [ / u r l ]
I Believe in Love is my ultimate favorite spiritual reading ever!!! And my mother's! I've reread it numerous times, and give it as gifts and recommend it all the time. In fact, that's one of the moments I knew dh was the one for me. He asked for Lenten reading, I suggested that book, and he read it and loved it.  A kindred spirit!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This is a wonderful book! I would recommend it to anyone even to read BEFORE her autobio. It makes her spirituality so clear and relevant!
I need to read it again too!

The ladies in our homeschool group are reading this book. Great book, I agree! We meet once a month and discuss together the gifts each chapter brings (whoever is in town)
I, too, love St Therese, and try to keep her Novena Holy cards handy to share with others.
