Introduction to the Devout Life

De: St. Francis De Sales

Narrado por: Robert J. Shaw

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.

Introduction to the Devout Life

Any additional comments?

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. This book was easy to listen to and is one that I will listen to again. It is full of wisdom and words to live by. The narrator did a great job.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Excellent and timeless work bringing Catholics back to God

This is my third time through the exercises and I find it impacts me differently and powerfully through each evolution. For me, this work brings me back to the core Faith, unadulterated, unapologetic and loaded with inspiration and insight. Highly recommend.

An Excellent Book

I loved the book..... but the mispronounciation of the name of St Augustine over and over and OVER AGAIN......

set my teeth on edge,

I could tell the narrator's a protestant "Agus TEEN" is not his name.
IT'S ' AA guss ten.

Incomparable Content - - Excellent Narration

What did you love best about Introduction to the Devout Life?

17th century spiritual direction that is completely relevant in today's life and times. Written for those living in the world it can easily be applied not only to one's spiritual growth but to all of our interactions and challenges in the secular world. The narration captures the voice I would imagine for St Francis de Sales and his qualities as a spiritual director. ...intelligent practical, truthful, direct, patient, loving and calming.

This may very well be titled a true book of life

This may very well be titled a true book of life. Mandatory reading, and re-reading, in my opinion.

Deep

Good book — I need to study it again. Look forward to following up on this thhread

Narration is way too fast

I was really excited to find an Audible version of Introduction to the Devout Life, which is a wonderful book. While the narrator has a great voice and speaks clearly, he reads entirely too fast for me to be able to follow along comfortably.

I've been a member of Audible for 9 years and have a couple hundred books... this is one of only a handful of reviews I've ever done. I will probably end up returning this title and hope that eventually another version is released with different narration.

Blessed be the Name of the Lord

Rich in content, broad in scope, probing the sublime and the mudane. To read a little is to gain a treasure. Only complaint is the pace of the narration, it's like thirsty man trying to drink from a fire hose 😢

Astonishinng!

A complete course on devotion, written by a holy and wise man, with a competent narration.
