Salt and Light: The Spiritual Journey of ﾉlisabeth and F駘ix Leseur (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781621642640)

ﾉlisabeth and F駘ix Leseur began their life together in France as a carefree young couple with a bright future ahead of them. They were beautifully and compatibly matched, except for one major difference--ﾉlisabeth was a devout Catholic, and F駘ix was a firmly decided atheist. As they faced the seasons of life together, their relationship was tested, and both were called to deep spiritual transformation.

Out of love for her husband, ﾉlisabeth spent her life offering her many sufferings for the sake of his conversion. After her death, and in response to the profound love he encountered in her writings, F駘ix converted and offered the rest of his life to God as a Dominican priest.

This biography is a lovely narrative of their marriage and the transformative power of God's love and grace in their lives. It also presents a charming picture of upper-middle-class French society at the turn of the last century. The cause for the canonization of ﾉlisabeth Leseur has been opened by the Catholic Church.
