Reading this lovely book was almost like a religious experience.I was highlighting beautiful prayerful passages so often that my book is now quite colorful! Currently I have been rereading my highlights. This book is inspiring as well as beautifully written. The included section of photographs is wonderful. I have already purchased another Edith Stein book, as this one piqued my desire to learn more a out this sainted woman.

5.0 out of 5 stars In addition to the beautiful narration of Edith Stein's tragic and beautiful story
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2017
I recently had the pleasure of indulging in Maria Scaperlanda's masterful biography of Edith Stein, whom I consider a model of Christian feminism, scholarship, and holiness. In addition to the beautiful narration of Edith Stein's tragic and beautiful story, I deeply appreciated Scaperlanda's sensitive work in exposing the challenge in Jewish-Christian relations over the canonization of St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. The book provides a profound education in the sensitivities of our Jewish brothers and sisters in the continuing aftermath of the Shoah.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teresa Benedicta - Edith Stein - is a giant of a SAINT
Reviewed in Canada on September 2, 2013
Verified Purchase
What does the word 'Saint' mean - but a person who is genuinely holy. Teresa Benedicta was a pious Jew who's mother was a wonderful example and later became a Carmelite nun. She was born on the most holy feast of Yom Kipper. Anyway - she was brilliantly intellectual and died at Auschwitz. It's kind of a sad story, but well worth reading. I wanted to read about this courageous woman in the year of Faith. Even with shipping - it's only a little over $10. Certainly well worth reading. Yes - I hope it inspires you to live a better life.
