This book has been an incredible gift from God! Having St. Francis de Sales as a spiritual guide and Father is a beautiful experience. This is a book for anyone who wishes to seriously take on their Faith and wants extensive guidance and inspiration. You don’t have to have great knowledge to be a saint, just be willing to show up. Sharing in this experience alongside Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Jacob Janczyk helps form even more community and guidance. They are a great help in tuning our modern ears to the beauty, the Truth, and the wholistic approach on Faith which is laid out in this book (listen to the podcast!).
I have listened to the podcast created for this book; it is so important and so full of wisdom that I just bought two copies. I’ll be keeping one for myself and gifting the other to my godson for his confirmation. I hope to read and hear more of these Catholic Classics. Ascension Press is doing great work in making our faith and the works of the saints more accessible. You have my gratitude and prayers.
This book is great and is even better when you read it along with the podcast - easy to understand and relate to your life by making simple changes or incorporating new insights in your life. It is really helping me make Christ-like choices in my life, praying more regularly, and being more devout as a Catholic. The book is esthetically pleasing and the ribbon is a great bonus!
Take this beautiful edition of a gem of a classic and have it read to you by two trustworthy, gifted Fathers and you have something wonderfully incredible! One can feel the same ardent love from Father Gregory and Father Jacob-Bertrand as Philothea must have felt from these personalized writings of St. Francis De Sales. It is truly a masterpiece and slays me, one page at a time. Thank you Ascension!
This book is so well made, I love the hard cover and the ribbon.
The translation is very good!
I recommend!
I have been listening to this book being read on podcast. It is a great book and very informative.
...a most welcome and much needed addition to my library. The book is beautiful and well constructed. ...very readable
This book is quite beautifully made and a pleasure to read. I opted for the Catholic Classics podcast that Ascension Press included. So one gets to read this book along with the podcast reading and then they have some commentary at the end of that day’s reading/podcast. This was a well thought out idea of publishing a book, and then building a podcast series around what’s inside the book. A very enlightening experience. Many thanks and blessings to all who were involved with its publication and the very helpful podcast series. Thank you, Ascension Press!!
Remember: God is good, all the time…and all the time God is good. 😇
This book is gorgeous and it is easy to read and understand. I love the ribbon it has on it to mark my place. I honestly didn't expect it to be so easy. I truly recommend this book. I l9ve it!!
