Product Description:
Living Love is familiar to many readers as Treatise on the Love of God, written by Francis de Sales during the turbulent beginning years of Calvinism. While bishop of Geneva, de Sales began to write his treatise, divided into twelve short books and published in 1616. This mildly edited version condenses each book into a chapter. Bernard Bangley's gentle touch has preserved de Sale's enthusiasm for God, his compassion, and good humor.
This book reads like long letters to a friend, sprinkled with anecdotes and illustrations from nature. Above all, Living Love is the helping hand of a skilled spiritual director, offering the assurance 'that a deep and satisfying prayer life is not only possible, but within the reach of anyone who will accept what God is forever offering.'

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Easy reading of a deep subject
I've read other books by deSales and loved them. This modern version is much easier to read while remaining faithful to the spirit of deSales. The book assures us that a deep prayer life is within the reach of those who desire it. The book offers inspiration, comfort and challenge in the form of guidance. Buy it, and let your heart soar with the Love of God.
