Independent intensities, 0–5 — what the work is made of, not how good it is.

A short book (74 pages) published by Lantern in December 2000, the year the relics of Thérèse of Lisieux toured the United States. Keating reflects on what Thérèse understood the teaching of Jesus to be: he writes about the teaching of Jesus in the parables and then shows the insight she had into those sayings, which she turned into a program for daily life. He presents her, though she died at twenty-four, as spiritually mature, and her daily practice of the command to love one another as Christ loved as the way of transformation she proposed to anyone.
