ABANDONMENT TO DIVINE PROVIDENCEREVEREND JEAN-PIERRE DE CAUSSADE S.J. — A Catholic Classic! — Complete Edition: Includes Two Parts in Nine Books: The Treatise and The Letters — Includes an Active Index, Table of Contents and Layered NCX Navigation — Includes Illustrations by William TurnerPublisher: Available in Paperback:ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-040-1God is to be found in the simplest of our daily activities and especially through total surrender to whatever is His will for each of us. That is the message of this 18th-century inspirational classic by Jean-Pierre de Caussade. Its encouragement to "live in the present moment," accepting everyday obstacles with faith, humility and love, has guided generations of believers to holiness and spiritual peace.This special volume of the famous spiritual treatise also includes the many insightful letters of Father de Caussade on the practice of self-abandonment. These numerous letters provide a great additional source of wisdom and practical guidance for how to grow in abandonment and to deepen our union with God in our daily lives.De Caussade shows that this practice of self-abandonment to God's will is the key to attaining true peace and virtue, and that it is readily available to all people - from beginners to those well advanced in the spiritual life. He also shows how to determine what God's will is for us. He reveals that it is not extraordinary feats that God expects for our growth in holiness, but rather heroic attention to every detail in our lives and humble acceptance of our daily lot in life as coming from His hand.The rich spiritual lessons in this book have stood the test of time, offering real and practical assistance to all people because its message is simple and clear, one that the reader will find to be a rare treasure of inspiration and direction to be referred to again and again.PUBLISHER: CATHOLIC WAY PUBLISHING

A spiritual classic! Non-catholics can profit from this. I will not write a long review since Caussade often counsels against spiritual reading! He did NOT write this as a book! It is in fact a compilation from personal letters to various nuns made nearly a century after his death! Such was the value of his spiritual advice that these letters were treasured in various religious communities! This is a book I re-read every few years. Bought the Kindle edition because I could not lay my hands on my physical hard copy (temporarily mis-shelved or loaned)! Having two copies is a good thing. Get this and put Caussade's advice into practice in your life! You will be glad you did!
This book goes hand in hand with titles such as The Sovereignty of God by AW Pink. (A MUST READ)This book isn't just for the Christian... God is Sovereign and Almighty in His Divine Providence and there is not a soul out there that cannot benefit from procuring a greater understanding of it. This is one of the subjects that one will never 'fully' arrive on in this life. What comfort it brings to the soul to see and believe in God's profound, eternal and immeasurable providence in all matters -- great and small.John Piper once quoting Spurgeon I believe- said; 'That dust mote you see floating in the morning sunbeam.... yes, even it's path has been decided by Almighty God - nothing is outside of His control.'So what is the overwhelming message of this book? REST.... Rest in His Sweet Sovereignty!!!! Rest in His Providential Ways!!!! This is another classic that is nothing short of sublime sustenance for the soul.
Indispensable encouragement for those on the deeper spiritual, but not necessarily on the Carmelite mystical path. [I've actually enjoyed interspersed reading of John of the Cross while taking momentary breaks from 'Abandonment'.] I believe this book will fall into the hands of, or naturally be recommended to, the aspirant at exactly the appropriate moment the Holy Spirit desires it for the soul.
Anyone who wants to have a deeper spiritual life and a closer relationship with God should read this book. Well written and understandable.
This is a wonderful treatise on accepting (and loving) God's will in whatever way it is manifested in our lives. My spiritual director recommended this to me, and I've read it over and over, finding new nuggets of wisdom each time.I bought this one as a gift for a seminarian, and I was surprised to find out it was more complete than the version that I have had for years. Nice translation. I might have to get this one for myself.
A totally fulfilling, enlightening book. It has been such a blessing to read, and I can only pray that I can well apply it to my life.
Great book. It arrived in excellent condition and promptly after ordering. I have read and re-read this book and have share it with friends.It is a great comfort in the troubled times we are living.
Anyone serious in his pursuit of holiness will have this close by.
