Paperback. Condición: Good. 2016 Reprint of 1883 Edition. Louis of Granada was the favorite author of St. Teresa of Avila, St. John on the Cross, St. Francis de Sales and many others. Among the hundreds of eminent ascetical writers of Spain, Louis of Granada remains unsurpassed in the beauty and purity of his style, the solidity of his doctrine, and the popularity and influence of his writings. Besides ascetical theology, his published works treat of Scripture, dogma, ethics, biography, and history. He is best known, however, for his ascetical writings. The appreciation of their worth extended throughout Europe, and later to America, and their popularity still remains but little impaired after the passage of four hundred years. Nearly all of these works were translated into the various European languages and several into Turkish and Japanese. The best known of his ascetical writings, and the one that achieved the greatest measure of success, is The Sinner's Guide. It is marked by a smooth, harmonious style of purest Spanish idiom which has merited for it the reputation of a classic, and by an unctuous eloquence that has made it a perennial source of religious inspiration. It has been most favorably compared with a Kempis's Imitation of Christ.…

Leather. Condición: new. Leather. The Sinner's Guide is the most famous work of one of the most prominent and exceptional spiritual teachers of the sixteenth century. It has been compared to The Imitation of Christ for its breadth, intensity, and usefulness for devotion and has been translated into Italian, French, German, Polish, Latin, and Greek. Covering what many spiritual writers neglect, Venerable Louis discusses both virtue and vice--how to both do good and avoid evil. Included in this volume are chapters on: Eleven motives for practicing virtueTwelve privileges of virtueCautions against deferring conversionRemedies for the seven deadly sins and othersVirtues and duties of our stateAnd far more!Venerable Louis stands as a master of the spiritual life throughout the whole Christian tradition. Born in extremely poor circumstances, his mother was widowed when he was five, and the pair subsisted on alms gathered from outside the gate of a Dominican priory. Eventually, Louis became a Dominican himself, and began a career of preaching that resulted, at length, in traveling throughout Spain and Portugal. He attained--despite the humble friar's best efforts--various posts in the Order of Preachers and served at courts of nobles and the queen regent of Portugal. He was offered bishoprics and the cardinalate, but declined all offers. He suffered much in his life, accused by the Spanish Inquisition of heresy unjustly; he was later vindicated by the Council of Trent and the witness of subsequent saints. Indeed, he counts among his readers and recommenders such pillars of sanctity as St. Rose of Lima, St. Vincent de Paul, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Charles Borromeo, St. Louise de Marillac, and St. Francis de Sales, who recommended Venerable Louis's works be read as a "second Breviary."But Venerable Louis's primary mission, quite unusually for his time, was to write and preach for the laity. Indeed, a disapproving observer said Venerable Louis wrote for "wives of carpenters," maybe forgetting who the Blessed Virgin was. Let, then, the words of this venerable Spanish preacher illuminate your heart with the light of Christ, speaking, as it were, straight from the bosom of the Master.Learn more on our Blog: The Peace of a Good Conscience Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Soft cover. Condición: New. No Jacket. In the Sinner's Guide, Venerable Louis de Granada proves himself a masterful spiritual director, showing how life in Christ is a beautiful way of life, worthy of all our efforts to pursue it. Numerous saints have enthusiastically recommended the works of this Dominican master of the spiritual life. St. Teresa of Ávila credited The Sinner's Guide with having converted more than a million people. The author, she concluded, was "a man given to the world by God for the great and universal good of souls." St. Charles Borromeo insisted that "no one has written books . . . of greater selection and profit than Fray Louis of Granada."St. Rose of Lima had his books always at hand and even used them to fight off the Devil. St. Francis de Sales urged a bishop-elect to read Fray Louis' works, beginning with The Sinner's Guide, and to treat them as a second breviary. Sts. John of the Cross, Peter of Alcántara, Vincent de Paul, and Louise de Marillac all counted Fray Louis among their favorite spiritual writers. Pope Benedict XIII told him: "Your writings . . . have benefited your fellow creatures more than if you had given sight to the blind and raised the dead to life." Number of Pages: 395. book.…
