{"product_id":"9781928832485","title":"The Secret Diary of Elisabeth Leseur: The Woman Whose Goodness Changed Her Husband from Atheist to Priest","description":"This inspiring book gives you a splendid example of how to live as a  Christian in a secular environment that can be indifferent or hostile to  your Faith. For Elisabeth Leseur had two great loves: God, and her husband  Felix. Felix loved Elisabeth as well; yet to their mutual sorrow, he couldn’  t share the life of the Spirit that Elisabeth cherished.  Occasionally the happiness of their life together in upper-class Parisian  society was shattered by Felix’s frustration and impatience. How could such  an intelligent woman waste her time, as he saw it, with ignorant  superstitions? Sometimes he and his friends would even ridicule and mock her  faith.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  But Elisabeth loved Felix too much to allow their home to degenerate into an  emotional war zone. She realized that confrontations and arguments were  useless; she chose instead to keep quiet and pray for Felix. In her secret  diary she recorded how she used his efforts to destroy her faith as means to  grow in love for him and for God.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  Throughout their life together, it grieved Elisabeth to think that Felix  might be separated from her for all eternity because of his rejection of  God. For her, life in Heaven wouldn’t be happy without him. Yet when she  died prematurely, Felix was still an unbeliever.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  The story doesn’t end there. When Felix found this diary, he discovered how  Elisabeth’s whole life bore witness to the truth of the God she loved.  In time, Felix was transformed by the diary and his memories of Elisabeth.  He became a Christian and, later, a priest. Now she may even be declared a  saint. Elisabeth’s diary and spiritual writings (all included in this one  volume) map out for you a path to marital harmony and greater love for God —  especially if you love someone who stands outside the Faith. Let Elisabeth’s  two great loves, and her faith and perseverance, inspire you now.
