  Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux, Third Edition

  • As expected of a saint it is a spiritual masterpiece

  • An obsolete translation, from an inauthentic manuscript, of a great book

  • More like a diary.
  • I was hoping for more detail of St. Therese's life. It reads like personal letters and the reader doesn't know all the references. Good read for developing virtue.

  Tesla: Man Out of Time

  • A fascinating book about the greatest genius you've never heard of.

  • This book gives an insight into the scope of Tesla's work, his involvements with the other inventors and businessmen of his day and most interesting--his eccentricities.
