During
his lifetime St. Francis wrote many books and innumerable letters of spiritual
advice. He was known far and wide as the best spiritual director of his day. He
converted seventy-two thousand Calvinists back to the Catholic Faith.
Introduction to the Devout Life is one of his most widely known works. This
compilation of gems of wisdom from this great Doctor of souls is a small tribute
to his genius and sanctity and a book from you will derive much consolation.
