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.
