Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Its wisdom formed his soul; it inspired him to a life of the
deepest devotion, and ultimately it helped him become one of the
Church's greatest saints. Now this book can do the same thing for
you.
It's no longer fashionable to speak of the Christian life as a
"battle, " but there's actually no better way to describe the
tug-of-war for your soul that's raging right now between the forces
of light and darkness.
Here, Dom Lorenzo Scupoli helps you take your proper part in
this spiritual battle so that you can win -- decisively -- the war
for your soul.
This book has been loved by saints and sinners alike ever since
it was written four hundred years ago. Why? Because it offers
sensible advice to help you overcome spiritual obstacles and
achieve spiritual perfection.
Not only what, but how!
Best of all, Spiritual Combat doesn't just tell you what you
ought to be doing in order to live a truly Christian life -- it
also shows you how to do it. These directions include:
-- Seven reflections to help you be sorry for sinning
-- Twelve ways to think about death -- they'll help you live better
today!
-- Prayer: seven ways to achieve its full benefits
-- What to do when prayer is dry and burdensome . . . or simply
impossible
With wise spiritual guidance like this and much more, you'll
soon be winning all your spiritual battles -- battles that most
people concede without a fight!
Salvation and spiritual perfection should not be sought
haphazardly; a strategy is needed to win the battle for our souls.
The Spiritual Combat, first published in 1589, provides timeless
guidance in spiritual discipline. St Francis de Sales (1576-1622)
read from it himself every day and recommended it to everyone under
his direction.
Vigorous, realistic and full of keen insight into human nature,
The Spiritual Combat consists of short chapters based on the maxim
that in the spiritual life one must either \"fight or die\." Fr.
Scupoli shows the Christian how to combat his passions and vices,
especially impurity and sloth, in order to arrive at victory.
This is the original TAN edition now with updated typesetting,
fresh new cover, new size and quality binding, and the same trusted
content.
