""A spiritual classic of the first order... a book for all those who truly seek God."" --Dom David Knowles
""Father de Caussade has a wonderful way of encouraging the doubtful, of nurturing the personal surrender that is so much a part of the development of faith. The book is a mystery of its own -- and is definitely not for Christians only."" --Rabbi Joshua Chasan
""Abandonment to Divine Providence is a classic perhaps more necessary now than ever before. It's a little book that rightly rejects the spirituality of fear and trembling (and the modern preoccupation with dreary self-absorption) in favor of an abiding trust in God's active benevolence. This is a work one reads again and again, always with gratitude and astonishment."" --Donald Spoto, Author of Blue Angel and The Dark Side of Genius
