The Secret Diary of Elisabeth Leseur: The Woman Whose Goodness Changed Her Husband from Atheist to Priest

I can not say enough good things about this book. Elizabeth seems like the woman friend that I've never had. She's a real person, with all the faults and foibles that come with that condition, yet she manages to become a truly great example of what it means to live as a Christian. Can't wait to get to heaven (with the help of this book) so I can meet the author in person!

An autobiographical treasure that reveals a life lived so sweet and simply for the goodness and benefit of others that literally changed lives through the sacrifices and sufferings which Elizabeth Leseur offered up. Her practical admonitions are simple but certainly require Grace to be lived out!The prologue by her spouse is as much a treasure to read as her own work. It is a true life story that paints a picture of love lived out to the fullest!

I had been introduced to this book under the title "My Spirit Rejoices", but in reprinting the book, they changed the title. The book was well written by the Victorian woman who was married to an Atheist of high society. She had grace and faith to get through it and help lead her husband to become a new and better person. I have re-read a few times and purchased this new title book to give to a close friend. She also has been quite impressed by her story.

I love this book.. I have read it once, but decided to read it again.. The second time around has even caught my deeper attention stronger than the first time I read it..I am so amazed at what deep love and faith Elisabeth Leseur grew into as she continued her prayers and asking God for greater faith, love and humility.Her writings have given me greater courage to act upon my own faith, and trust deeper in God for all that I think I need, and what I truly need as He knows it. Also, to rely on Him for my future regardless of how it turns out.I've discovered even more deeply, by reading this book, that God is truly faithful and when things don't go the way I think they should go, that I can trust that it is His divine Will, and I can relax in peace knowing that.If someone is longing for a deeper faith journey, I strongly recommend this book.If someone is an atheist or agnostic, I strongly encourage them to read this book. And let God draw them to Himself as He so longs to do.A+++++ rating... PERFECT SCORE!!!I will recommend it to anyone...in fact, I bought a copy for one of my daughters and will for others too.A fabulous story... a great message of faith, hope, love, and trust in God....BUY IT TODAY!!!!

Wow. What a woman. This book is good not just for married women (or married people), although if you are a woman in an unhappy marriage, this could be extremely helpful for you. This book is good for ALL Christians, married and unmarried, male and female. This woman is clearly a saint, and she shares what is essentially the secret of life for all of us: dying to self for the good of the other. Don't miss this story.

A very deep, thoughful, inspiring book. It dives deep into a soul in love with God. I highly recommend this book especially if you’re suffering in a difficult relationship with your spouse. She learned, by God’s grace, to offer herself completely to God to convert her husband. This book takes you through all her sacrifices & penances. Beautiful & inspiring.

The book arrived earlier than I expected which is good. It is also bigger than I expected and in perfect condition. There are no scratches, tears, and writing. I am excited to read this book and learn about the story of St. Elisabeth Leseur. As well, my package arrived with another book that I purchased. I thought the other book would arrive separately but they came together. Overall, I am happy with the service.

This book sounds so very interesting!!!! It comes very highly recommended to read. A MUST READ!!!!

Since Christianity is getting a bashing from rationalists and aggressive atheism - learn how an atheist became a Christian and then a Catholic priest because of his wife's secret diary. it is a moving account of faith in the most unlikely circumstances. You will be uplifted!

Wow wow wow

This is one of the most inspiring books I’ve read in a long time. A testament to the power of love.

The shipping was perfect and I really enjoyed this book learned so many new things.

It's my bible of about 10 years
