Francis de Sales, Jane de Chantal: Letters of Spiritual Direction (Classics of Western Spirituality (Paperback))

The book provides spiritual advice written for the average person to read, understand, and practice.

This is an inspiring revelation about Francis DeSales thoughts and personality. What a guy?! And Jane Frances DeChantal was very blessed to have him guide her to be holy. She could only end up being a Saint.

Wonderful book, full of lots of insightful concrete guidance and helpful support for the serious seeker of spiritual truth and how to live it, no matter what religion. I especially appreciated the generous encouragement to keep on in one's spiritual endeavors despite any set backs, as the strong conviction that St. Francis De Sales has that everyone can attain the loftiest spiritual heights, dominates the book.

Purchased this to add to my Classics of Western Spirituality collection. When I get around to reading it, probably years from now, I'll probably review it then.

Love all the books in Classics of Western Spirituality.

The book was as described in terms of condition. It came on time. Although it is an old text the letters still contain wisdom that can be applied today.

This book is inspiring and easy to read. The introduction to the spirituality of St. Francis de Sales helps to put the letters in perspective. It is a help to anyone who desires a deeper union with God in the ordinariness of their daily lives.

A nice reassuring set of spiritual letters between two friends. I did find it difficult to identify with some of this, probably due to Francis and Jane's station in life. The work had a feeling of aloofness for me.
