The Complete Introduction to the Devout Life

The Complete Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales, New translation and commentary by Fr. John-Julian, OJN.

This Introduction is the newest of this classic in English from Paraclete Press. It is most notable as an inestimable value for the student of Christian spirituality, since the translation is on the right hand side of the book, while the left pages include explanatory notes and invaluable commentary. Those new to the text will learn like none before had the chance, and those already familiar with the text will find new insights, including things to agree with or not.

Paperback, 6” x 9”, 410 pages, a full inch thick.
