Abandonment to Divine Providence: Volume 18 (Regimen Books Christian Classics) - Tapa blanda

This Regimen Books edition of de Caussade's classic 1700s work has updated a variety of language usages — particularly spelling and punctuation — to conform to modern practices and to make it easily readable for modern audiences. “Even those who look upon the spiritual life as an inextricable labyrinth will receive from this book the clue that will enable them to escape from the darkness that envelopes them and to enjoy peace in the midst of their uneasiness. “The leading idea in the writing of Jean Pierre de Caussade is abandonment, complete and absolute, to God. This was the mainspring of his own spiritual life and the keynote of his direction of souls. He promises peace and holiness to every soul, however simple, that follows his counsel, if it has an upright intention and a good will. “That which renders de Caussade’s writings especially valuable, and makes them useful in an eminently practical manner, is that they are, for the most part, addressed to persons suffering under different kinds of darkness, desolation and trials — in a word, to those whom God designs for a high degree of sanctity. “To whatever degree a soul has attained, we can safely promise that it will find in this book suitable advice and a solution of the difficulties by which it is beset.”
