This Tremendous Lover
This Tremendous Lover
For decades, Catholic Christians have been turning and returning to this remarkable spiritual classic in which a Trappist monk speaks clearly and perceptively to the world of priest, religious or layperson still "in the world."
This Tremendous Lover has been called a modern version of Introduction to the Devout Life, the timeless sixteenth-century spiritual classic by St. Francis de Sales.
This book takes the question of personal sanctity and relates it to a Pauline vision of the Church as the Mystical Body of Christ. It offers a spiritual reading experience that is very old and yet ever new, a book which, when read again and again, remains remarkably fresh and inspiring.
"No modern writer has better understood the layman's need for solid, realistic spiritual reading." --Ave Maria
