Introduction to the devout life – St francis de Sales

Posted on January 29, 2020January 29, 2020 by xvanderputt

A long time classic recommended Spiritual reading. The original language means you dont glide through this gem with speed, but perhaps that’s not such a bad thing. Like a fine wine if we gulp it down then its finer subtleties are wasted on us.

St Francis de Sales takes us lay people through an intense process, the bluntness of his points only slightly softened by his beautiful wording.

Ten powerful meditations take you where you don’t always willingly go in a bid to place God as rightful King in your life, our ingratitude, sinfullness all gets called out to be brought to the light.

Be prepared for an overhaul, but who doesn’t need one of those ?
