It's not always possible to control external events. There are so many things that are outside our control: the past, what others think of us, chronic health issues, other peoples' actions, the weather, unforeseen events. This list goes on and on.
It is possible, though, to gain more control over our&nbsp;interior life. In his book&nbsp;Interior Freedom,&nbsp;Fr. Jacques Phillipe shows us that we possess, each of us, inside of us a space of freedom that no-one can take away. Despite the most unfavorable outward circumstances, we can claim our freedom because God is its source and its guarantee. Without this, we will always be in search for something else to fulfill us, and we will never understand true happiness. Fr. Philippe lays out a simple but important theme in&nbsp;Interior Freedom: "We gain possession of our interior freedom in proportion to our growth in faith, hope, and love." He explains that the dynamism between these three theological virtues is the heart of our spiritual life, and he underscores the key role of the virtue of hope in our spiritual growth. Written in a simple and inviting style,&nbsp;Interior Freedom&nbsp;seeks to liberate the heart and mind to live the true freedom to which God calls each of us.&nbsp;Get the most out of this book with our&nbsp;<a title="Interior Freedom Study Guide" href="https://scepterpublishers.org/products/interior-freedom-study-guide">Interior Freedom Study Guide</a>.

St. Th&eacute;r&egrave;se of Lisieux sought a new way to Heaven: &ldquo;a little way that is quite straight, quite short: a completely new little way.&rdquo; Blessed with personal limitations that might have discouraged another, Th&eacute;r&egrave;se believed God would not have given her a desire for holiness if He did not intend for her to achieve it. She learned to humbly accept herself as she was and trust completely in God&rsquo;s love.&nbsp;
First given as a retreat by renowned author Father Jacques Philippe,&nbsp;The Way of Trust and Love navigates excerpts of St. Th&eacute;r&egrave;se&rsquo;s writings phrase by phrase, extracting powerful, resonating insights. To Th&eacute;r&egrave;se, the journey seemed &ldquo;little&rdquo; as she traveled it. A hundred and fifteen years after her death, the message of the young saint and Doctor of the Church has traveled around the world inspiring millions. With this newly translated study of her spirituality, many today will rediscover&mdash;or find for the first time&mdash;the relevance of &ldquo;the little way,&rdquo; in all seasons of life.
