William Law

Bridge-Logos Publishers, 2008

Very Timely
wow - what an inspirational, hard-hitting, right on read this has been. I'm still in the process of reading it but I already love it. This should be required reading for all Christians. Then perhaps the church would live differently than the world and perhaps we'd have less scandal. So far I can see that there needs to be a balance. One could easily tend towards legalism and a ... 		  
  







  
  
Introduction to the Devout Life30 reviews
Francis De Sales

Vintage, 2002

Truly a useful introduction!
I sought out this book on the advice of a priest and was not expecting the book to as useful as it was! I was immediately drawn into the book as it explained how a devotional life can be integrated into any state of life. I especially was thankful of the effort de Sales puts into explaining what is proper for one to do according to their vocation in life. Though I am Catholic, a Pentecostal ...

De Sales, Saint Francis

Tan Books & Publishers, 1990

This book by St Francis De Sales is very readable and inspiring for anyone wanting to be a lover of God. Written in the 1600's it is as relevant today as then.

The abridgement enables today's reader to clearly follow the teachings of this French Bishop. Excellent reading.

a day in the life of the amish1 review
Bob Ottum

Roy Reiman, 1994

There's plenty of time for chores before breakfast
Bob Ottum, the editor of this book asked over 100 Amish to record a single day in their lives (Monday, October 4, 1993) and sent out cameras so that the willing volunteers could take photos to enhance their written diaries. The result is very appealing. I enjoyed my day with the Amish, astounded by the amount of work they achieved, and charmed by the gentle humor with which they accomplished ...

After an excellent and clear introduction the short text - "A Vision" - is presented with ...
