Review: Great read - Loved this book. 1st chapter blew me away. 2nd chapter not as much, book improved after. Recommend to anyone. Review: An inspiring reflection on St Therese's relevance to our modern day lives - Thank you, Heather King, for writing such a humble and honest account of your own life and your love for St Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face. Though I've read all of Therese's writings and much that's been written about her, I still found this book extremely valuable and illuminating on many levels. The author successfully shows how the little flower's life and teachings are still relevant to those of us struggling to find our way in modern day society. Her intimate knowledge of the saint's life and how she relates that to her own suffering and redemption by the grace of Christ, and to that of others, is very rewarding. As such, I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who admires and loves Little Therese as much as I do. The author also includes heartfelt and powerful prayers at the end of each chapter. I was touched and inspired by them, so thanks again to the author. She has shown that the little way of St Therese can bear much fruit in the life of a Christian who surrenders themselves to God and relies on His mercy and grace. Despite our age and status in life, we're all children of God and Heather King demonstrates this by presenting us with anecdotes about her own life and the wide range of friends and acquaintances she's encountered and helped (and who have helped her). She also writes with style and grace. After finishing this inspiring book, I'll certainly look forward to reading more of her writing. ## Features - Shirt of Flame: A Year with St. Therese of Lisieux ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #348,288 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #778 in Christian Saints #1,523 in Religious Leader Biographies #8,583 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 236 Reviews | ## Images ![Shirt of Flame: A Year with St. Therese of Lisieux - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71V4iF0F2-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read *by K***R on February 9, 2026* Loved this book. 1st chapter blew me away. 2nd chapter not as much, book improved after.

At the time, I was recovering from my own book tour and was beginning to feel the wear travel puts on a homebody like me. I was in need of some soul nurturing. This book intrigued me. I've always been interested in Saint Tersese, but I was reluctant to dive into an out and out biography. "Shirt of Flame" pulled me in from the first page. The title comes from T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets. Ms. King takes the reader through a year long journey as she reveals snapshots of her own story while exploring Saint Tersese's huge but short-lived life. Even having heard the interview, I was not prepared for the impact Shirt of Flame would have on my internal and external life. Each chapter or section of the book is titled for a month of the year. Sections of Saint Tersese's book, "Story of a Soul", is quoted throughout Shirt of Flame. And while I found these sections revealing and encouraging, the memoir parts belonging to the author touched me most. Through the author's experiences, I was able to draw parallels between my struggles and internal life. Heather King gave voice to many of my longings and desires. "That I had come to God, then to Christ, through alcoholism was no accident, for in spiritual terms my craving for drink had been a thirst for the infinite, gone badly awry. That the obsessions to drink had been removed one long-ago month at a Minnesota rehab was the central fact of my existence. That after being lost for so long I'd found my way as well to writing and the Church was the miracle around which constellated, on my better days, boundless gratitude, astonishment, and joy." What beautiful courage abounds in this book. I strongly recommend this book to everyone. As for me, I was changed from the inside out. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/2483634-shirt-of-flame-a-year-with-st-therese-of-lisieux](https://www.desertcart.us/products/2483634-shirt-of-flame-a-year-with-st-therese-of-lisieux) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
