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.
