Summary

In "The Story of a Soul (L'Histoire d'une Âme)," St. Thérèse of Lisieux offers an intimate and profound exploration of her spiritual journey and the simplicity of her faith. Written in a candid and heartfelt style, this autobiography blends elements of devotional literature with the candidness of personal memoir. It serves as a testament to her 'Little Way,' a path to holiness characterized by love, humility, and trust in God. St. Thérèse's narrative reflects the broader context of late 19th-century Catholicism, where personal spirituality was emerging prominently, inviting readers into a world marked by mystical experiences and profound reflections on divine love. St. Thérèse of Lisieux, a cloistered nun who died at only 24, became one of the most beloved saints within the Catholic tradition. Her early life, marked by profound faith trials and a deep longing for spiritual fulfillment, informed her writings. Drawing from her own experiences within the confines of her convent and her reflections on suffering, she crafted an enduring legacy that resonates with countless believers seeking a personal relationship with God. This book is highly recommended for anyone yearning for inspiration in their spiritual life. Whether you are a seeker of faith or a scholar of spirituality, St. Thérèse's profound insights and relatable journey offer a remarkable glimpse into the possibilities of holiness amid everyday life.

    Satan Unmasked examines passages of scriptures concerning Satan and the origins of how he evolved into doctrines and belief systems, taking on many different forms as the embodiment of evil. In Christianity, Satan has developed into God’s adversary, a fallen angel. However, in Psalms and the Book of Job, Satan is likened to a prosecuting attorney in the Heavenly Court. 
Satan Unmasked is Book One of a four-part series concerning doctrines that have crept into our theology. Book Two, Spirits Unveiled, examines angelic beings and the spiritual realm, followed by Books Three and Four regarding salvation, tithing, the role of women, generational issues, etc. Read the entire series Unmasking the Unseen to examine doctrines that have evolved.

    Grieving is part of every blended family. Sabrina and her new husband were both widowed when their families blended, so grieving was expected. They recognized the losses suffered in their families would take time to heal. What they have since learned is that every blended family experiences grieving―whether you are widowed or divorced. And the process usually takes longer than expected. Sabrina vulnerably shares her personal experiences and struggles, revealing her mistakes and fears that she had early on in her new marriage and with her new family. In A Home Built from Love and Loss, you’ll learn to  work through different parenting styles as a stepmother or stepfather;  parent kids in different ages and stages of development (hormones, personalities, and power dynamics);  compassionately address chaos and hurt feelings together and independently;  deal with feelings of guilt;  handle initial rejection from stepchildren;  glean biblical wisdom on how to do life together with grace;  connect better on an emotional level with your newly-formed family while keeping traditions that have grounded your family; and  honor the bereaved or divorced spouse.  For anyone facing the challenges of blended families, A Home Built from Love and Loss offers practical advice and spiritual guidance to find hope in the midst of grief.
