Tough Little Sister
Thérèse of Lisieux—A Saint for All Christians
by Dwight Longenecker

I decided to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, staying in monasteries and convents en route. I wanted a holiday, but I also wanted the chance to reflect on my faith and explore the historic heartland of Christendom.
