The Four Teresas takes an out-of-the-box look at four of the greatest women of the Church, and what their example can mean for you. Thérèse of Lisieux, Teresa of Avila, Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, and Mother Teresa were all lively, determined, devout straight-shooters with an abundance of common sense.

Practical tips offer suggestions on how to be like the Teresas and points for reflection drive the lessons home.
