On the Nightstand: June 2017

I’ve followed Heather King‘s blog for a few years now because how can you not be intrigued by someone who describes herself as “an ex-barfly Catholic convert”? Her entries include many beautiful photographs and thoughtful, sometimes funny, sometimes wry, words of wisdom. But for some reason, I’ve never read Shirt of Flame, King’s memoir about coming to terms with loss through a year of praying and meditating with St. Therese of Lisieux. We can all learn from Therese’s sounds-so-easy-but-so-hard-to-do Little Way, and I’m looking forward to learning how King put it to work in her own spiritual healing.
