Product Description

First Published in 1609 and given its definitive form in 1619, St. Francis de Sales Introduction to the Devout Life was an immediate and universal success. One of the principal reasons for this is that, unlike so meny of the other spiritual books of his time which were written for persons who had withdrawn from the world or were preparing to do so, this work was addressed to those who lived in citeies, who had jobs and families to think about on top of trying to live a life which was both sanctifying and fulfilling. The book begins by detailing the need for a firm resolve to lead a life of union with the Lord and then it discusses the means: sacraments. prayer, the practice of virtue, things to be avoided and finally exercises to help on to continue to grow spiritually.
