Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
An Enduring Classic: In late 1608, St. Francis de Sales, the Catholic Bishop of Geneva, published his first edition of the Introduction to the Devout Life. It sold out quickly. In September of 1609, he published the second edition with additional material and revisions. A third edition was published in 1610, a fourth in 1616, and his fifth and final edition was published in 1619. On December 28th, 1622, St. Francis died at the age of 55. He was canonized a Saint in 1665 and declared a Doctor of the Church in 1877. The depth and breadth of the Introduction, written by one of the Church's eminent spiritual directors, has made it an enduring classic. De Sale's insights and practical guidance for keeping our lives centered on Christ are timeless and will forever change your life and deepen your devotion to God. LIVE JESUS!Yes, Lord Jesus, live and reign in our hearts forever and ever.Amen.

Committed Life
Author: William Meninger
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1441140743
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
A masterful updating of a classic work.St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622), bishop of Geneva and founder of the Visitation Order of nuns, was renowned for his teachings on spirituality. His masterpiece in the field of spiritual literature was "The Introduction to the Devout Life." Revolutionary in its day and noted for its charm, warmth, and clarity of language, it set forth a spirituality oriented toward life in the world, an approach quite different from that of St. Francis de Sales's contemporaries,who saw spiritual perfection as possible only in religious life.While the message of "The Introduction to Devout Life" is still valid today, the fact is that its expression is quite dated. In this book, as in "Bringing 'The Imitation of Christ' Into the 21st Cemtury," Father Meninger is not offering a new translation or paraphrase of a spiritual classic. Rather, he is attempting to express the teachings of the original in a wholly contemporary idiom. Father Meninger has not hesitated to change, omit, or add to the original where necessary, the better to highlight the heart and charisma of St. Francis de Sales's teachings.
