Treatise on the Love of God

Treatise on the Love of God is in every respect a great work. Having shown in his Introduction to the Devout Life how people in all careers an on all levels can truly live Catholic Christian lives, St. Francis de Sales next sought to bring men to a deeper knowledge of the origin and fulfillment of all devotion. Because of the book's order, clarity and sound doctrine, and because of the author's vast knowledge and mastery of language, Treatise on the Love of God is as great in execution as it is in purpose - and is completely successful in its results. 

St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622) is a Doctor of the Church, a unique class of 33 of the Church's greatest writers, and Treatise on the Love of God is his great masterpiece, which is embued with the conviction that sanctity is possible in everyday life.
