Description
Dianne Marie Traflet
“St. Edith Stein’s relationship with God made possible her greatest achievements – from her ability to stun crowded lecture halls with her academic prowess to remaining a source of hope within the confines of a Nazi concentration camp. Born into a Jewish family, at an early age Stein chose to become an atheist. Going on to achieve scholarly success in the field of philosophy, she battled a harassing spiritual void, finding peace once she embraced the Catholic faith.
“In this latest portrait of Edith Stein, she continues to carry divine life to the current generation, inviting readers to know and emulate her saving grace: her spirituality. Author Dianne Traflet explores its three pillars: the Eucharist, which enabled her to receive and extend God’s love; the Blessed Mother, who taught her to obey the call to serve; and the cross, whjichj gave her the courage to live Christ’s example, suffering to save others – even to the point of death. He result is a biography that is both an inspiration and a spiritual journey.” [From the cover]
