Books by John Cleary

"Christians know that suffering cannot be eliminated, yet it can have meaning and become an act of love and entrustment into the hands of God who does not abandon us."

St.Thérèse of Lisieux, the "Little Flower of Jesus," bore much suffering, from her mother's death when she was young to declining health and untimely death during her time in the Carmelite convent. Despite her sufferings, St. Thérèse continued to love Jesus in her "little way."In Lent and Easter Wisdom, John Cleary uses passages from St. Thérèse's classic autobiography, The Story of a Soul, to comfort and challenge you this Lenten season. As you meditate on Saint Thérèse's life, let her show you how to keep your faith when you suffer and how to find your way to God when you are lost.

"I invite all Christians, everywhere, at this very moment, to a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ."
