Juanita: The Life and Spirituality of Saint Teresa of Jesus of Los Andes (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781953839954)

Juanita Solar, Saint Teresa of Jesus of Los Andes, is the first-fruits of holiness of the Discalced Carmelites in Latin America. Thousands of people, especially young people, flock to her shrine each year, seeing in her a young girl who became a saint while at school, loving sports, sharing holidays with her family. She spent only eleven months in Carmel.

Pope St John Paul 11 said of her: 'For her, God is infinite joy. This is the new hymn of Christian love that rises spontaneously from the soul of this young Chilean girl, in whose glorified face we can sense the grace of her transformation in Christ.'

Jennifer Moorcroft tells this remarkable story for English-speaking readers so that they, too, may catch the fire of the love of God from her, and find the joy and happiness that living in the love of God gives.
