Elizabeth harvested!
+ Elizabeth means "House of God"

The Prophet of Carmel: The Life and Mission of Elias the Prophet
Charles Garside
Loreto Publications, 1999
218 pages. Garnering his material from the last two of the four Books of Kings, Father Charles Garside, M.A., paints a portrait of a thundering visionary, who lights up the Old Testament perhaps more brilliantly than any other Biblical figure. A man of prayer and solitude, celibate and chaste, he moved courageously with every heavenly summons, never failing, never daunted.

St. Therese of Lisieux
ICS Publications, 1977
Utterly Fascinating
+ My favorite book
+ Completes the "Saintly" nature of the Little Flower.
This is truly one of the most fascinating books in the world. The Martin sisters wrote down literally every word Therese said in her last six months. "O to die her death!"--"Then live her life."
