"An Introduction to the Devout Life", a work intended to lead "Philothea", the soul living in the world, into the paths of devotion, that is to say, of true and solid piety. Every one should strive to become pious, and "it is an error, it is even a heresy", to hold that piety is incompatible with any state of life. In the first part the author helps the soul to free itself from all inclination to, or affection for, sin; in the second, he teaches it how to be united to God by prayer and the sacraments; in the third, he exercises it in the practice of virtue; in the fourth, he strengthens it against temptation; in the fifth, he teaches it how to form its resolutions and to persevere. The "Introduction", which is a masterpiece of psychology, practical morality, and common sense, was translated into nearly every language even in the lifetime of the author, and it has since gone through innumerable editions. This Premium Edition includes: . An Easy to Read Layout making reading comfortable . A biography of St Francis . Beautiful engravings . More than 200 footnotes

Written over 400 years ago, Introduction to the Devout Life is still one of the most popular books for those pursuing holiness. St. Francis de Sales explains how to turn that desire for sanctity into resolutions that yield grace-filled results. Themes include: Pursuing a devout life whole-heartedly Incorporating prayer and sacraments into a busy schedule Growing in virtue Battling wisely against temptation Making spiritual progress through daily, monthly, and yearly exercises Whether you are just beginning your spiritual journey or are more advanced in the spiritual life, you’ll be able to apply this timeless wisdom immediately. Let St. Francis de Sales illumine the path to holiness and strengthen your desire to walk that road with the Lord. St. Francis de Sales (1567–1622) was the Bishop of Geneva and a renowned spiritual director. Preaching during the Counter-Reformation, he is estimated to have converted 70,000 Calvinists in his short lifetime. He was a fervent proponent of the universal call to holiness and spent much of his time guiding lay people on the road to sanctity. Declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius IX in 1877, St. Francis is still helping to form saints through his many writings, of which Introduction to the Devout Life is the most famous.

This is a brand new translation of Introduction � la vie d�vote. The last Catholic translation of significant worth appeared more than seventy years ago. Be careful when you read some versions of the work. A number of them were made by our separated brethren, who seem to have an aversion to the teachings of the Church. They gloss over or delete everywhere St. Francis mentions anything related to them. The most sincere among them do say that they have done so, but the greater number of them stay silent, and leave it up to the reader to find out whether or not their translations are faithful to the author's intentions and the teachings of the Church. Some have even left out entire chapters. Henry Benedict Mackey, OSB, the best translator of a number of works of St. Francis, calls previous Catholic translations of the Introduction, "very imperfect as regards style." He adds that the Anglican version is better, but that it "omits essential points of doctrine."In this book, St. Francis de Sales uses a conversational tone to explain the most serious of subjects: a complete program leading to sanctified life, unfolding in easily assimilated stages, and developing logically one out of the other. The careful arrangement and inner balance of the subject matter is reflected in brief topical chapters divided into five parts. After an initial process of dedicating heart and soul to God, we learn how on to pray and make the best use of the Sacraments. Then follows the practice of virtues, and being on guard against temptations. Finally, St. Francis prods us to renew our resolutions to love God, and cheerfully go on with our lives. Along the way, he provides a wide variety of advice suitable for those who live in the practical world, are enamored of God, and who wish to lead a devout life. The appendix has further readings recommended by the author.For 400 years, this small book has been loved and admired everywhere, and has helped, as St. Francis wished, to make true piety known and practiced in every circumstance in life. He said that devotion, far from preventing us from doing our ordinary duties, helps us to perform them better, and that the care of one's family is rendered easier; the love of husband and wife is increased; the service done by citizens becomes more faithful; and all occupations become pleasanter and more agreeable. When the book appeared, Henry IV, King of France, said that it was far beyond what he had expected, and his Queen, Maria de' Medici, sent a copy studded with diamonds to James I of England, who is said to have always carried it on his person, and declared that it was rather the work of an Angel than that of a man.

This examination of the Christian life constitutes one of the most remarkable books of devotion ever written. William Law's book dates from 1728, a decade before England's great evangelical revival, during which it exercised a significant influence on the movement's leaders. A Serious Call has been praised by readers as varied as Samuel Johnson, Edward Gibbon, and John Wesley. "If Mr. Law finds a spark of piety in a reader's mind, he will soon kindle it into a flame," declared Gibbon, and Wesley pronounced Law's work as one of the books that formed his "explicit resolve to be all devoted to God." Three hundred years after its initial publication, this volume continues to win accolades from modern readers who appreciate its guidelines on prayer, personal holiness, and charity. Simple but profound, it features brief chapters that make it particularly suitable for daily devotions.

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 seventeenth 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. Francis's compassionate Introduction leads the reader 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.
