About this product
Product Information
In Thérèse of Lisieux: God's Gentle Warrior, Thomas Nevin examined the popular saint in the broad context of her life with her family and as a Carmelite nun. Now he focuses on her writings, especially the last of her three "autobiographical" manuscripts, known simply as "C". Nevin's book addresses the torment of doubt within the life and writing of a saint best known for the strength of her conviction.

Reviews
"In this companion volume to his acclaimed Thrse of Lisieux: God's Gentle Warrior, Thomas R. Nevin has produced yet another magisterial volume. Among the many studies of this Doctor of the Church, precious few penetrate beyond the saccharine French that characterizes the spiritual prose of her time to reveal a towering figure of the late nineteenth century, whose depth and power reduce to a mere mannequin another porta voce of this epoch, Friedrich Nietzsche." - Martin Laird, O.S.A, author of Into the Silent Land and A Sunlit Absence: Silence Awareness and Contemplation "Never do I read a book a second time. Life is so short, books are so many. Thomas R. Nevin's earlier study Thrse of Lisieux God's Gentle Warrior has stayed as close as my night table or my desk. Retired parish priest that I am, I purchased additional copies to circulate among friends-an extension of my many years in pastoral ministry. My response to the The Last Years of Saint Thrse: Doubt and Darkness 1895-1897 is even greater: more armfuls for more friends. Everyone should know the last years of Thrse as Dr. Nevin has so remarkably researched and so reverently recorded them. It is a wonderful achievement. Turning the pages one gets the impression that the author himself was being deeply affected by his labors, as you will be by your reading. Words borrowed from W.B. Yeats come to mind: 'He, too, has been changed in his turn, transformed utterly: a terrible beauty is born.'" - John P. McNamee, author of Diary of a City Priest, "This book is a very fine historical study reflecting both a sophisticated close reading of texts and a mastery of the sources. The two volumes Nevin has given us are indispensable for anyone who wishes to engage the life and thought of this young woman who has been honored by the Catholic Church as a "Doctor of the Church."--Church History"This author does not merely pass on datathat he has unearthed from a wide array of sources; rather he expresses forcefully his interpretations of the data. These interpretations are often daring and new, leaving room for opposing views, but these interpretations deserve careful scrutiny. This is a book that makes the reader think." --Catholic Books Review"A fascinating look at the spiritual life of a well-known saint. Summing Up: Recommended." --CHOICE"In this companion volume to his acclaimed Thérèse of Lisieux: God's Gentle Warrior, Thomas R. Nevin has produced yet another magisterial volume.

Seller absolutely, stubbornly refused to communicate with me on the item. I bought it anyway because it was a good price. I sent several messages that went unanswered. So sad. Other than that the shipping and condition was good. The packaging poor and I was very surprised it wasn't damaged. No padding just 2 thin plastic bags.
