Mathew's Reviews > Introduction to the Devout Life

I've read most of St. Francis de Sales "Catholic Controversy" and had heard only good things about his "Introduction". What I particularly enjoy is his insistence on different spiritual acts for people in different states of life.

I'm certain many zealous Catholics will agree with me that the general quality of homilies nowadays is low but luckily we have the doctors and saints of the Church to give us what St. Peter calls "the pure rational milk" so we might grow in love for God.

By the way, as I was reading through the book I got a lump in my throat because that old man, the flesh, didn't like what it was seeing. You know you're on the right track when Brother Ass starts making a noise.
