Saint Edith Stein
Blessed by the Cross
Encounter The Saints Series
“Born into a devout Jewish family, Edith Stein became an atheist while still a teenager. She went on to achieve great success at the university where she studied philosophy. But she felt she was lacking something, an inner yearning for the God she was fleeing from. Then God spoke to her heart through the writings of Saint Teresa of Avila. Edith became a Carmelite nun and a martyr during World War II.”
The book tells a story about her life, has a prayer, and has a glossary.
