An inspiring collection of Edith Stein's shorter spiritual writings, many available for the first time in English translation. They were composed during her final years, often at the request of her Carmelite superiors.

These essays, poems and dramatic pieces offer show more readers a unique glimpse into the hidden inner life of one of this century's most remarkable women. [Back cover]. show less
