| Summary: | God laid a charge upon Teresa: to teach her religious community, and indeed all others, that "Martha draws all her strength from Mary." We must be contemplatives in action, the daring novice warned, and the only real activity flows from the love of God lived to the fullest. The biographer explores every facet of her character until she stands wholly revealed. He discovers her mind, her attitudes, feelings and ideals with the honesty, scholarship and artistic ability that are characteristic of all his fine work.
