Biography & Memoir

An inspiring collection of Edith Stein's shorter spiritual writings, composed during her final years, often at the request of her Carmelite superiors. Here the noted philosopher, Catholic feminist, and convert shares her reflections on prayer, liturgy, the lives of holy women, the spirit of Carmel, the mystery of the Christian vocation, and the meaning of the cross in our lives. These essays, poems, and dramatic pieces offer readers a unique glimpse into the hidden life of one of the twentieth century's most remarkable women. Includes five photos and an index.
