The
35 Doctors of the Church presents
the most comprehensive and fascinating collection available anywhere

of Lisieux (1873 1897), you'll find the amazing stories of 35
extraordinary men and women who are honored both for their holiness
and for the eminence of their teachings about the Faith. Their work
and witness are truly timeless; their lives and wisdom show us how to
be holy in our own lives, how to confront the challenges of today,
and how to proclaim the Gospel to a modern world hungering for Jesus
Christ.
