Summary

A classic work that has the potential of benefiting any true believer in God. Written with a humble heart, Francis De Sales outlines the practical points of living/pursuing the devoted life in a way that is able to be followed by the common man. Holy Scripture is interwoven throughout this piece, providing a sure foundation for us all to stand upon.

Catholic and Protestant believers alike should find great insight into the the deeper things of walking with Christ, while partaking in this book. It is my prayer that you will draw closer to Jesus and find the hope of truly living the devoted life! Be blessed.

Excellent book, over enthusiastic reader!

This is of course a classic book full of beautiful and inspiring passages which I warmly recommend.

Unfortunately I have to break my usual rule of not commenting on the quality of the narration in this case. On the positive side, the narrator has good diction and pronunciation, even of some less common words, and his voice is clear.

However it sometimes seems like a personal challenge to him to speak quickly and fluently, like a stream rushing down a hillside. I'm a couple of hours in so far, and despite having listened to many challenging books on Audible, the speed of the narration makes this particularly heavy going.

This is a book on prayer, and the pace of narration really should reflect this. I regretfully suggest that potential listeners try a sample first, and that the publisher should consider making a new recording of this valuable text.
