As Bishop of Geneva in the first quarter of the 17th century, Francis de Sales saw to the spiritual needs of everyone. The desire to be closer to God that he found in people led him to compile these instructions on how to live in Christ. Francis’s compassionate Introduction to the Devout Life leads you 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.

Includes an introduction by Pat Gohn.
