Sinopsis

Regimen Books Christian Classics publishes books of superior quality, with particular attention to textual editing and book design.

Francis de Sales believed that all Christians are called to a life of obedience and holiness.“It is an error — no, more, a very heresy,” he wrote in Introduction to the Devout Life, “to seek to banish the devout life from the soldier’s guardroom, the mechanic’s workshop, the prince’s court, or the domestic hearth.” Every believer can and should seek holiness.

Thus, Introduction to the Devout Life was written not for the clergy, but rather for ordinary lay men and women who were involved deeply in everyday life.The book is broken into small chapters that are easily digestible.

One will find meditations and advice on prayer, purity, marriage, temptation, and other spiritual issues — all of which are written in a clear and straightforward style.

Published in 1608, the book remains pertinent today as a practical guide to deepen our Christian faith and become more devout. It is difficult to imagine any reader coming away without a stronger desire to be more spiritual in their daily lives. Introduction to the Devout Life is highly recommended reading for anyone seeking holiness and sanctification or a closer daily walk with our Lord.
