Written with a pencil in hand, this book is one to read and re-read again and again, as it goes to the heart of becoming good. Throughout 10 brief meditations in Part I, An Introduction to the Devout Life will help orient you toward God and make profound impressions that spark within you the motivation of entering upon the devout life - leading ultimately to God and eventually Heaven. So, if you are looking for a truly helpful guide that allows you to better understand sin and even the inclinations towards sin, then An Introduction to the Devout Life is just what you have been searching for!
