Book Description:
This spiritual classic has long been beloved by Catholics for its wondrous distillation of the teaching of St. Thérèse of Lisieux into a reader-friendly set of meditations. It's perfect as a personal retreat when you have only a few moments to spare each day - and for spiritual reading anytime and anywhere.
Fr. Jean C. J. d'Elbée, a French priest deeply imbued with St. Thérèse's spirit, brings you St. Thérèse's teachings on God's love and the confidence in Him that it should inspire in your soul; humility, peace, and fraternal charity; the apostolate; the Cross; and what it means truly to abandon yourself to Divine Providence.
I Believe in Love has helped countless souls embark on the way to the Father. It will help you focus on Him throughout each day, rest in Him amid your troubles, and live joyfully with Him at every moment!

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Complexity in Simplicity
This is a route to Heaven. The words of Therese continually tell us how to
be totally happy and satisfied as we devote our all to the Almighty. It certainly makes our material world so miniscule and unimportant. Things don't count, people do as we see God in our neighbor.

Fr.makes the distinction between fleeting feelings and true love which he explains is a disposition of the soul, the mind and the heart. Fr. is a passionate Frenchman; Therese was a passionate Frenchwoman and so a holy passion for the Lord marks every ... Read More
Rating: - I believe in Love: A Personal Retreat Based on the Teaching of St. Therese of Lisieux
This saint, during her very short life, reached the pinnical of spirituality. Who better to teach you a how to on your own journey. Highly recommended by Retreat Directors in this area.
Rating: - Wonderful Meditations on Therese's Wisdom
"I Believe in Love" is a wonderful introduction to the wisdom of Therese of Lisieux. Reading it made me more fully appreciate her autobiography "Story of a Soul." Each chapter of the book comprises different topics that she addressed in her writings, and serves well as a meditation. I think the author states that it is his intent to provide the reader with a personal retreat based on the teachings of Therese. I read one chapter a night before I went to bed.
Therese of Lisieux's approach to spirituality ... Read More
