About the Author

Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622) was born in France to a wealthy family. Though he initially followed his father's direction and became a lawyer, he was drawn to the priesthood, and became the Bishop of Geneva in 1602. Francis was a spellbinding preacher, and a kind and gentle friend to all. His immensely popular writings clarified Catholic teachings in an era of bitter and confusing rivalry between Catholics and Protestants. His Introduction to the Devout Life and Treatise on the Love of God introduced lay people to spiritual direction and spiritual formation. Francis became a saint in 1665, and a Doctor of the Church in 1877.
 

John Kirvan (1932–2012) wrote primarily about classical spirituality. He conceived the Great Spiritual Teachers series and edited most of its seventeen titles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spiritual greats outdo the best psychologists!
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2010
Verified Purchase
I found this book in our Church vestibule library at a time of great emotional stress in my life. I had sought help and found little of it from a variety of sources, from family to psychologists. However, this little book, divided into 30 days spiritual readings, spoke deeper to my inner soul and psyche than anyone had been able to do. I am impressed by the wisdom and gentleness of this saint, St. Francis the Sales, and by his profound belief in God's Providence. This is a book for the spiritually weary, the psychologically tired, the emotionally unnerved. I have bought several copies of this wonderful work to give out to other mothers; I think our world would profit enormously in taking time out to meditate daily the profound maxims laid out so lovingly in these pages.

I loved this little gem of a book. I have the older edition. It's so easy to follow and gives you sound advice for every day for 30 days.
It has given me a lot of peace when I have trying days. I had put it on the shelf and picked it up again the other day. I will keep it handy now! If your free time is limited, this is the book for you from a very wise saint.

Frances de Sales writes beautifully, and I really enjoyed the prayers, although some seemed more for men than women. It is a joy to read these books,

I love how this book is structured. As the day begins leads you into the phrase that you carry through the day and as the day ends you reflect on the day and pray for whatever we need or others need. Looking forward to finding a similar book. I will definitely revisit this book.
