There are just a few books that a person will keep on his or her shelve over the years and read again and again. It takes a special quality. Many have found that unique quality in DeCaussade's "Abandonment to Divine Providence." It is the simple gospel message that Jesus lived each and every moment of His life. "My meat is to do the will of my Father in heaven." De Caussade has a way of saying the same basic truth in so many ways but it never seems to tire the reader. When the reader is open, De Caussade's words touch the heart urge the person to take the words of Jesus to the young man...."give up everything and follow me." It is the decision that doesn't bring instant transformation; it gives the direction for the journey and the words to pray each moment. "All is your's Lord. I want what you want in all things." Recommended for anyone who has felt a growing desire to make the self offering to the Lord. De Caussade's words are not just the theology of self-giving but they also treat the specific joys and struggles that come with that self-giving to the Lord. It is a book which will never grow old.

Seller's Description:
Very good. Connecting readers with great books since 1972! Used books may not include companion materials, and may have some shelf wear or limited writing. We ship orders daily and Customer Service is our top priority!
This is one of finest, most revelatory and inspirational books I've yet read. I have ordered 9 more copies for friends and family and hope to organize a small group in-depth study. The book is small (in page number) yet hugely meaningful.
