I Believe in Love - A book review

I Believe in Love written by Father Jean C. J. d'Elbee is uniquely designed to be a personal retreat based on the teaching of St. Therese of Lisieux as well as incorporating the wisdom of other numerous saints and scripture. Providing reader-friendly sets of meditations, this book makes it possible for even the busiest of persons (I am a mother of three children ages 3 and under) to have the benefits of a personal retreat. All you need is a few moments each day to read and quietly reflect. His interpretation and understanding of Therese's teachings on God's love and the confidence in Him truly inspired my soul and has helped me be a more loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, etc. Fr. Jean does an excellent job of illustrating what it means to truly abandon yourself to Divine Providence. You will leave this book desiring to be a saint. We are all called to seek holiness and no matter what your vocation in life is, this book will teach you the perfection of love and help you apply it to your particular walk in life. Don't wait to make this retreat for it is in stepping away from the world that we find our place in it.
