St. Francis of Sales - Bishop of Geneva and a leader of the counter-reformation
Saint Francis de Sales (August 21, 1567 - December 28, 1622) was Bishop of Geneva and is a Roman Catholic saint. He worked to convert Protestants back to Catholicism, and was an accomplished preacher. He is known also for his writings on the topic of spiritual direction and spiritual formation, particularly Introduction to the Devout Life.
In 1578, at the age of 12, he went to the Collège de Clermont in Paris. A year later Francis was engulfed in a personal crisis when, after attending a theological discussion about predestination, he became convinced that he was damned to Hell. In January 1587, he visited the church of Saint-Etienne des Grès, in southern France, with great difficulty. There his crisis ended, and he decided to dedicate his life to God. Francis came to the conclusion that whatever God had in store for him was good, because "God is love", as Scripture attests. This faithful devotion to the God of love not only expelled his doubts, but also influenced the rest of his life and his teachings. His way of teaching Catholic spirituality is often referred to as the Way of Divine Love, or the Devout Life, taken from a book he wrote of a similar name Introduction to the Devout Life.

I just finished this book about a week ago. I admit it took a while to read, as de Sales is not a quick read. The nice part is de Sales writes in small chapters (often only a page or two long), allowing for contemplation on "small bites" of his teaching at a time.That being said, the depth of this treatise is unbelievable. de Sales takes us on a journey though the breadth and depth of God's love. For those who do not know de Sales, his teachings and writings converted 70,000 Calvinists to Catholicism in the Le Chablais region of France from 1594-1598. His very popular work "Introduction to the Devout Life" is taken in part from this much larger, much deeper work. Even though de Sales lived 400 years ago, the clarity of his discussions on God's love are just as meaningful today as they were in his time.
I recommend this to anyone who would like to learn more of the theological view of God's love for us.

Treatise on the Love of God edition by St Francis of Sales Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
I am very pleased witht this book. It is what I expected and more. I plan to refer to it frequently.
This is a must read for everyone in the world. What a treasure this book is especially for this day and time. I strongly recommend it for anyone who wants to live a better life
During my reading of the book, which was recommended by my Spiritual Director, I have felt so much closer to my love of God. My heart almost burst with love at some of the readings. If you wish to grow closer to Christ, this book is grace filled.
It takes a while to get through if you read it and ponder the lessons. Like all of Francis deSales' books, the chapters are in small bites. Well worth the time invested.
Just what I had hoped for.
Classic Catholicism. Very scholarly.
