You desire holiness, but it feels impossibly distant. The saints seem like spiritual giants while you're just a grain of sand. Your limitations, failures, and weaknesses appear to disqualify you.

St. Thérèse of Lisieux felt the same way. At fourteen, she was hypersensitive and emotionally fragile. Yet she discovered something revolutionary: God doesn't ask us to become giants. He invites us to accept our littleness and trust completely in His love.

In this bestselling guided retreat, Fr. Jacques Philippe walks you through Thérèse's writings phrase by phrase, extracting the powerful insights that made her a Doctor of the Church. You'll discover that the path to holiness isn't about extraordinary achievements—it's about trust, love, and letting God's mercy transform your weakness into His strength.

Perfect for Lent or anytime you need spiritual renewal, this book reveals how ordinary people with ordinary struggles can pursue extraordinary holiness.
