“If the little flower could talk, it seems to me it would say what God has done for it quite simply and without concealment . . . This flower, in telling her story, is happy to make known all the gifts Jesus has given her.”
—St. Therese of Lisieux
The beautiful style of St. Therese’s writing will capture your heart, but it will be the power and efficacy of her lessons that will keep you returning day after day.
Only written under holy obedience by the command of her superior, St. Therese’s autobiography conveys the secrets of her great holiness, which she achieved through her simple and ordinary life. It teaches her “Little Way of Spiritual Childhood,” which she called her “elevator to Heaven.” An important lesson for all Catholics, her “little way of love and confidence” is drawn directly from Scripture and has been approved by Pope Pius XI as a way to holiness for all.
Although she died at the age of 24, St. Therese was and is known for her great wisdom, and this magnum opus demonstrates the young Carmelite’s holiness and dependance on God.
St. Therese’s autobiography has become a classic of Catholic literature, and it has been translated into numerous languages. The Story of a Soul continues to grow in popularity and millions of copies are distributed worldwide.
No Catholic should be ignorant of the spiritual power of “little way” of St. Therese. This beautiful edition, which is printed in the beautiful style of all the TAN Books Catholic Classics Series, belongs on the shelf of every Catholic.

Must read!
I'm halfway through the book and St Therese was a very brilliant and divine person. This autobiography was written at the request of her superior, and the recount of her life is nothing but inspiring. Anyone who is devoted to the Little Flower or who wants to become closer to god should read this. Her level of intellect at such a young age not to mention her divinity and calling to Christ are nothing short of saintly. Highly recommend!!!!!!!

The Story of a Soul - Commentary
St. Therese is one of my favorite saints. Her ;Little Way; is inspiring, with her simplicity and devotion. I can understand how she is considered one of the doctors of the church.
