9781617202988: Treatise on the Love of God

Synopsis

This Treatise which I now present you, may be in some way serviceable to you, and that in it you will meet with many wholesome considerations which you would not elsewhere so easily find. We all look towards the glory of holy love. my intention is only to represent simply and naively, without art, still more without false colors, the history of the birth, progress, decay, operations, properties, advantages and excellences of divine love. This Treatise then is made for a soul already devout that she may be able to advance in her design, and hence I have been forced to say many things somewhat unknown to the generality, and which will therefore appear more obscure than they are. My purpose here is to speak to souls that are advanced in devotion. Wilder Publications is a green publisher. All of our books are printed to order. This reduces waste and helps us keep prices low while greatly reducing our impact on the environment.

About the Author

St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622) was a Catholic bishop, theologian, and spiritual writer whose works have influenced Christian devotional life for centuries. Serving as Bishop of Geneva during a time of intense religious conflict in Europe, he became known for his gentle pastoral approach and his emphasis on the universal call to holiness. His writings-including Introduction to the Devout Life and Treatise on the Love of God-remain central works of Christian spirituality and have been widely read by both clergy and lay readers.
