This autobiography, written by St. Thérèse of Lisieux, is a spiritual memoir that includes her childhood, her life in the Carmelite convent, and her final days. The book is divided into three parts, each written at different times and for different recipients. It details her 'Little Way' of making small efforts to please God and her experiences with faith, suffering, and her vision of heavenly life. The book has been translated into many languages and is considered one of the top 10 spiritual books of the 20th century[3][5].
The Imitation of Christ, by Thomas à Kempis, is a classic work of Christian devotion that explores the spiritual life and the pursuit of Christ-likeness. It emphasizes themes of humility, self-denial, and the importance of inner transformation. The book is divided into four books, each focusing on different aspects of the spiritual journey. It offers practical advice and guidance on how to live a life of faith and devotion, emphasizing the importance of prayer, meditation, and self-examination. The Imitation of Christ has been a source of inspiration and guidance for countless Christians throughout history, offering timeless wisdom on the path to spiritual maturity.
Today, I’m joined by Alex Jones, Co-Founder and CEO of the Hallow app. Alex shares how his deep desire to encounter Christ in daily prayer—guided by the wisdom of the mystics—led him to create the app, despite skepticism from others. He takes us through the highs and lows of building Hallow, including the secret to raising over $100 million. Alex also shares powerful testimonies, from a grieving mother finding comfort through the app to an addicted mom reuniting with her child and husband. He even dives into the bold decision to use precious Super Bowl airtime to invite people to prayer. Alex’s radical surrender to God’s will and his passion for spreading the Gospel have borne incredible fruit—his story is one we can all be inspired by.
