Born in 1515 in Spain, Teresa was a peasant girl who found her calling as a nun and began to study for hours every day. She soon realized that her true purpose in life was to help others find salvation, and she dedicated her life to ministering to the poorest of the poor. Her work as a nun and her powerful speeches inspired many people to change their lives for the better, and she is now known as one of the most celebrated religious figures of all time. In this beautifully written book, Hamilton tells the story of Teresa’s life, her ministry, and her powerful impact on the world.; 192 pages.
