Book Overview

A compassionate treasure that guides seekers through practical ways of attaining a devout life without renouncing the world and offers prayers and meditations to strengthen devotion in the face of temptation and hardship. Francis de Sales's Introduction to the Devout Life has remained a uniquely accessible and relevant treasure of devotion for nearly four hundred years. As Bishop of Geneva in the first quarter of the sevenjteenth century, Francis de Sales saw to the spiritual needs of everyone from the poorest peasants to court ladies. The desire to be closer to God that he found in people from all levels of society led him to compile these instructions on how to live in Christ.

Description of book was not what it said it was

By Introduction to a devote Life, February 15 Verified Purchase

The book was supposed to be "good" condition, but it was not. Chunks of pages fell out. It is very hard to read while trying to hold the book together. The cover was different from what I ordered.

Introduction to the Devout Life : A Popular Abridgment

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 28, 2000

This book by St Francis De Sales is very readable and inspiring for anyone wanting to be a lover of God. Written in the 1600's it is as relevant today as then. Aimed not at Religious or Priests but at Lay men and women it explains how to build your faith and prayer life. The abridgement enables today's reader to clearly follow the teachings of this French Bishop. Excellent reading.
