 General Description:

An Introduction To The Devout Life.

This is one of the greatest spiritual classics ever written - an essential book to have in any Catholic's home.

The person intent upon gaining Heaven should first resort to a competent guide to reach that Goal of all goals. And no better guide exists than An Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622), Doctor of the Church.

Easy to read, being laid out in short chapters, yet it is thorough, authoritative, reliable, kind and gentle--a mirror of its author. A book to be read again and again, and to make your guide for the rest of your life!

He had a keen insight into the workings of the human mind, the innocent-seeming yet devious temptations of the devil, and the challenges faced by the soul seeking to live a pious life amid the cares and trials of daily life.

No one can read this book without finding a section that directly applies to them, regardless of their state of life. St. Francis's advice o Full Review...
