DESCRIPTION:
HORRID TRANSLATION! I teach spiritual formation at the seminary level. This is one of my all time favorite books. And it has been a favorite in every class where it has been used. Unfortunately some of my students did not pay attention to the translation I requested and bought this one because it was the cheapest that Amazon listed. They uniformly hated the book until I read them passages from my trans. "A "classic!"" according to Frank in OAKLEY.

Are you anxious about the trials of life? Father de Caussade offers the one sure solution to any spiritual difficulty: abandon yourself entirely to God by embracing the duties of your station in life. True abandonment, he explains, is a trusting, peaceful, and childlike surrender to the guidance of grace.. With wisdom and gentleness he teaches how to practice complete submission to the will of God in every situation, whether we are beginners or seasoned travelers on the way of perfection
