It's no longer fashionable to speak of the Christian life as
a "battle," but there's actually no better way to describe the tug-of-war for your soul that's raging right now between the forces of light and the forces of darkness.
Here, Dom Lorenzo Scupoli helps you take your proper part in this spiritual battle so that you can win - decisively - the war for your soul.
Lorenzo Scupoli
Spiritual Combat was first published in a world externally much different from ours. But spiritual realities haven't changed, and this book has been cherished for four centuries by saints and sinners alike (including St. Francis de Sales, who carried it in his pocket for eighteen years). Why? Because it gives sober and realistic guidance on how to overcome spiritual obstacles and achieve spiritual perfection and salvation.
Not only what, but how!
Best of all, Spiritual Combat doesn't just tell you what you ought to be doing in order to live a truly Christian life - it shows you how. These directions include:
Seven reflections to help you be sorry for sinning
Seven ways to achieve the full benefits of prayer
Twelve ways to think about death - they'll help you live better today! What to do when prayer is dry and burdensome - or simply impossible
And much more to help you overcome the most formidable spiritual obstacles!
With guidance like this and much more, you'll soon be winning all your spiritual battles - battles that most people today concede without a fight!
