Summary

A classic work that has the potential of benefiting any true believer in God. Written with a humble heart, Francis De Sales outlines the practical points of living/pursuing the devoted life in a way that is able to be followed by the common man. Holy Scripture is interwoven throughout this piece, providing a sure foundation for us all to stand upon.

Catholic and Protestant believers alike should find great insight into the the deeper things of walking with Christ, while partaking in this book. It is my prayer that you will draw closer to Jesus and find the hope of truly living the devoted life! Be blessed.

Devotional classic, well worth it

I love this book and I learned a lot from it. It is full of wisdom and good advice. I must admit though that the narrator seems to have got a little too inspired, or as de Sales puts it near the beginning, he has let his flame of passion be kindled. The unfortunate result of this is that the narration, although technically good and accurate, is exhaustingly fast at times. A book to be listened to in short sections, with time in between to catch your breath and savour the spiritual bouquet...
