Only written under holy obedience by the command of her superior, Saint Thérèse's autobiography conveys the secrets of her great holiness, which she achieved through her simple and ordinary life. It teaches her "Little Way of Spiritual Childhood," which she called her "elevator to Heaven." An important lesson for all Catholics, her "little way of love and confidence" is drawn directly from Scripture and has been approved by Pope Pius XI as a way to holiness for all. Although she died at the age of twenty-four, Saint Thérèse was and is known for her great wisdom, and this magnum opus demonstrates the young Carmelite's holiness and dependence on God. Saint Thérèse's autobiography has become a classic of Catholic literature, and it has been translated into numerous languages.
