Authentic Devotion: A Modern Interpretation of Introduction to the Devout Life by Francis de Sales

Centuries ago, Francis de Salesâ€“bishop of Geneva during the lifetime of many first generation Protestant Calvinistsâ€“wrote about the importance of having a spiritual director. Yet he later told his biographer such a person â€œwould be difficult to find,â€ suggesting that in these circumstances, â€œWe can look for guidance among the books of authors who are no longer living. Devotional books are our best Directors.â€

Today, de Sales serves as such a spiritual director to countless modern day believers, and his Introduction to the Devout Life is recognized as one of the truly great works of devotional literature. Originally written as a series of letters of religious guidance, this enduring book is filled with thoughtful spiritual illustrations and radiates with a warm humanity that touches people of all religious backgrounds.

A classic masterpiece of spiritual writing, de Salesâ€™ book is acknowledged to be among the top handful of guides to Christian living. No matter where readers are in their spiritual developmentâ€“whether they are beginners or skilled theologiansâ€“this modern interpretation, an â€œhonest paraphraseâ€ of de Salesâ€™ work, will gently guide them down the clearest path imaginable into a deeper and more authentic religious life.
