Coles A Spacious Place: A Spiritual Journey with St. Edith Stein at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Love, truth, identity, and vast inner freedom: These are our inheritance. But we've been peddled the lie that a life lived for others is suffocating, narrow, and stifling. We've been told that truth is relative, that freedom is merely license to do what we want, and that masculinity and femininity can be redefined or repackaged at will. In such a world-full of confusion yet ripe with conversion, renewal, and an authentic desire for happiness-St. Edith Stein's story calls us to reflect on the mystery of our own. This brilliant woman, a convert from a Jewish family who rose to prominence as a philosopher and lecturer, joined the Carmelites before being martyred at Auschwitz. Her brave witness during some of the darkest days of human history reveals that our hearts expand, not contract, when we surrender to God's will. Her writing reorients us to the fundamental principle that vast interior freedom comes not from rejecting our nature but from embracing our God-given design. Her relentless search for truth reminds us that Truth is magnetic, exhilarating, and liberating. Her surrender to Love invites us to contemplate love's far-reaching, cruciform nature, and her martyr's death illuminates the full meaning of self-gift. These pages offer rich insights, including:
How Edith Stein transformed from judgmental and critical to empathetic and protective
Wisdom for seasons of disappointment and waiting
How God makes us whole in prayer
Edith's piercingly insightful personalism
Her teaching on the unique capacity and beauty of the feminine soul
The one central teaching Edith always emphasized
The fullness of life found by embracing our unique vocations
How Edith called on the pope to speak out against Nazi ideologies and atrocities
Why this extraordinary woman was declared both a martyr and a confessor
Each chapter closes with questions for personal reflection and group discussion. Come and discover how much you were made to be, like St. Edith Stein, a gift meant to be given for others. Come and discover within yourself a light and spacious place, the dwelling place of God Himself.
