review 1: It was difficult to get used to the comparison drawn by King as she pulls her 21st Century urban experiences and 18th Century old-world meditations of St. Therese. I am still getting through many of the seeming contradictions between her parallels, but on re-read I find King's analysis is true and meaningful. I am finding myself drawing a calming message in my own personal mental dialogues daily. King is providing a context to make St Therese's simple strategies and processes relevant to today's confusing chaos.Still reading slowly, but will keep this book handy to refer to over the years.Standing by my original impressions...
review 2: I found this book so inspirational, I chose Therese to study further in my spiritual direction training. I've learned so muc... moreh from this humble child-saint, and Heather's meditations helped highlight her significance. I'm not sure I would've been drawn to Therese if I hadn't read Shirt of Flame. I would have missed out on some much needed lessons in humility. There is a gift in admitting to our powerlessness and letting go of our need for emotional satisfactions outside of what God offers us, which is really all we need to live centered, joyful lives. I'm very grateful to Heather for this book. less
