In contrast to the sentimentality which is so often associated with her, he has found a powerful, lively figure, full of humanity even in the depths of the spiritual night she experienced during her last months—the spiritual night which others have tried to suppress or deny. \u003ci\u003eLight Of The Night\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable contribution towards a better and more accurate understanding of the life and message of Thérèse of Lisieux.\" —\u003ci\u003eThe Midwest Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThérèse of Lisieux died on 30 September 1897. Nine months later, the now classic \u003ci\u003eStory of a Soul\u003c\/i\u003e appeared and proved an immediate success. However, when historians had access fifty years later to manuscripts written by Thérèse they were surprised to discover enormous differences between these texts and the published version of \u003ci\u003eStory of a Soul.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJean-François Six has written this new book with two purposes. First, he recalls the history of how Mother Agnés, Prioress of the Carmelite convent and sister of Thérèse altered and completed Thérèse's text so that it became a travesty of the original. Secondly he re-establishes the truth of the last months of Thérèse's life, her authentic spiritual message, and her contribution to the history of mysticism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHere is a key study and a crucial work of rehabilitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Notre Dame Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52520405762328,"sku":"9780268013219","price":15.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/light-of-the-night-the-last-eighteen-months-in-the-life-of-therese-of-lisieux-paperback-softback-9780268013219","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
