Almost all those who have written concerning the devout life have had chiefly in view persons who have altogether quitted the world; or at any rate they have taught a manner of devotion which would lead to such total retirement. But my object is to teach those who are living in their own households, and whose calling obliges them to a social life, so far as externals are concerned. And so I have shown them that a true steadfast soul may live in the world untainted by worldly breath, finding a well-spring of holy piety amid the bitter waves of society, and hovering amid the flames of earthly lusts without singeing the wings of its devout life.

A Brilliant But Humble Man
Saint Francis de Sales was a great evangelizer and this book makes clear why, not only because of the truth that he writes, but the way he makes profound ideas sound simple and accessible, his beautiful use of metaphor, and his loving tone infused with humillty. Only a saint could have written this book.
