As with other books in this series, Starr begins with a prayer to the saint in which he prays for active service here on earth combined with joyful intimacy with the Beloved.

The author gives a more detailed history of Teresa than he did of Michael, probably because she is not as well known as Michael.

One story tells of her love for a young priest, but Teresa turns the conversation and love away from the personal and back to the Divine, thus avoiding falling into sin. This book captures the essence of a woman and allows the reader to draw on Teresa’s strength in time of need. Each of the three books in this series are pocket-sized and contain a beautiful illustration of the saint.

This is an easy-to-read book that captures the personality of one of our best know saints.
