Excerpt: ...in reading the Scripture or any book of piety, you meet with a passage that more than ordinarily affects your mind, and seems, as it were, to give your heart a new motion towards God, you should try to turn it into the form of a petition, and then give it a place in your prayers. By this means you will be often improving your prayers, and storing yourself with proper forms of making the desires of your heart known unto God. At all the stated hours of prayer, it will be of great benefit to you to have something fixed, and something at liberty, in your devotions. You should have some fixed subject, which is constantly to be the chief matter of your prayer at that particular time; and yet have liberty to add such other petitions, as your condition may then require. For instance: as the morning is to you the beginning of a new life; as God has then given you a new enjoyment of yourself, and a fresh entrance into the world; it is highly proper that your first devotions should be a praise and thanksgiving to God, as for a new creation; and that you should offer and devote body and soul, all that you are, and all that you have, to His service and glory. Receive, therefore, every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life; meet every rising sun with such sentiments of God's goodness, as if you had seen it, and all things, new created upon your account: and under the sense of so great a blessing, let your joyful heart praise and magnify so good and glorious a Creator. Let, therefore, praise and thanksgiving, and oblation of yourself unto God, be always the fixed and certain subject of your first prayers in the morning; and then take the liberty of adding such other devotions, as the accidental difference of your state, or the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Edited for modern English, with minor abridgement.) Since its initial publication, more than four centuries ago, Introduction to the Devout Life has become the most popular Catholic "how to" guide to spiritual formation. Written for the laity, and emphasizing charity over penance, it quickly became immensely influential. It's author was an extraordinarily gifted man of prayer and study, who became known as "the gentleman saint." Francis de Sales was the eldest of six French brothers, born into the comfortable world of Savoy nobility. He was educated by Jesuits, eventually receiving his doctorate in law and philosophy. But law and luxury were not prime motivators for Francis. In Paris, while contemplating the eternal consequences of his life, Francis experienced a profound spiritual awakening, which prompted him to consecrate himself to the Virgin Mary with a vow of chastity. Francis was ordained at the age of 26, and elevated to bishop nine years later. Yet, the young pastor would not have an easy flock to shepherd. He was assigned to the diocese of Geneva, a stronghold of Calvinist Protestants, making him the target of repeated assassination attempts. After all, some firebrand preachers had condemned his Introduction for tolerating dancing and even jokes! But the patient bishop's gentle spirit proved useful in soothing the resentments of Christian rivals. Eventually, his eloquent faith -- spoken, written and lived -- converted 40,000 Protestants. At a time wracked by religious resentment, his motto became, "He who preaches with love, preaches effectively." His message was, "God is love." Consequently, his enduring Catholic spirituality is often referred to as "The Way of Divine Love." Every Christian can benefit from the wisdom shared by this prayerful Doctor of the Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brother Lawrence (1614 to 1691) was a monk who today is most commonly remembered for the closeness of his relationship with God, as recorded in this little book. He spent almost all of his adult life in solitude, poverty, and obscurity within the walls of a priory. He was known for profound peace and high commitment to Jesus Christ. He cared not for the worldly status of his tasks, but the motivation behind it. We can do little things for God, he wrote. I turn the cake that is frying on the pan for love of him, and that done, if there is nothing else to call me, I prostrate myself in worship before him, who has given me grace to work; afterwards I rise happier than a king. It is enough for me to pick up but a straw from the ground for the love of God. Generations after his death, this book has become one of the most popular Christian books in history. It was oft quoted by John Wesley and A.W. Tozer, and today tens of millions of copies are in circulation. This edition is available on-demand and is printed in its original translated format.
