Living Love: Flights of a Soul Towards God

by Francis de Sales, Bernard Bangley (Editor)

Francis de Sales' literary masterpiece Treatise on the Love of God was originally published in 1616, while he was Bishop of Geneva. This modern edition of the treatise preserves de Sales' gentle prose, enthusiasm for God, compassion, and good humor. For all spiritual pilgrims seeking comfort and guidance, the writings of Francis de Sales will offer the assurance that "a deep and satisfying prayer life is not only possible, but within the reach of anyone who will accept what God is forever offering." "It is wonderful to see that (de Sales') spirit lives in this modern edition of theTreatise on the Love of God. . . . It clearly continues to have the power of a profound guide to the love of God." Bernard F. O'Connor, OSFS President, DeSales University
