'Practice of Perfection and Christian Virtues - First Treatise' Summary
This book is a practical guide to Christian perfection and the virtues that lead to it. It is divided into three treatises, the first of which focuses on the esteem, desire, and affection we should have for spiritual growth. The author argues that this is the foundation for all other virtues and that we must cultivate these attitudes in order to progress in our spiritual lives. He offers practical advice on how to do this, including ways to overcome obstacles and distractions. The remaining treatises cover the specific virtues that lead to Christian perfection, such as humility, obedience, and charity. The author provides detailed instructions on how to practice these virtues and how to overcome the challenges that we will face in doing so. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who is serious about growing in their Christian faith and living a life of virtue.Book Details
