Later this month,<\/strong> we\u2019ll be celebrating the release of Heather King\u2019s latest book, Shirt of Flame: A Year with St. Therese of Lisieux<\/strong><\/a>, but while we wait in joyful anticipation for our copies to arrive, check out my interview with this wise and self-knowing author<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

\nTh\u00e9r\u00e8se wrote under obedience. You sort of write under obedience, too, don\u2019t you?<\/strong> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In a sense, yes. I am not affiliated with any movement, organization, cause, politics, or institution other than the Church. But that \u201cother than the Church\u201d is key. Without the Church, I am nothing. My \u201cauthority\u201d is Christ; my authority is my heart.<\/p>\n

I was trained as a lawyer and a big part of my search consisted in having \u201cachieved\u201d what supposedly constitutes the American dream and discovering that that particular version of it was killing me. I want to emphasize that lawyering is absolutely the call of someone else\u2019s heart. Lawyering is absolutely where someone else is meant, and is going, to bring Christ into the world. It\u2019s just that that is not where I was going to, and so I underwent a major spiritual crisis that consisted of trying to discern God\u2019s will for me and discovering, as many of us do if we\u2019re lucky, that God does not \u201cwant\u201d us to do the grim, hard thing. He wants us to do the absorbing, exciting, \u201ccome-higher-friend\u201d hard thing, which turns out to be exactly what we want, too.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She\u2019s great;<\/strong> I can\u2019t wait to read the book. In the meantime I hope you\u2019ll read the whole thing<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE: If you\u2019ve never heard Heather King<\/strong> speak, here is a treat! Pat Gohn\u2019s \u201cAmong Women\u201d podcast<\/strong><\/a> this week is a chat with Heather about her book<\/strong><\/a>. Don\u2019t miss it!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
