Even non-Christians have admired his prose.
His writings are characterized by sublime common sense. Francis de Sales was a master psychologist, with a special gift for teaching practical morality. It has always occupied a privileged position in the Church: no guide ever written provides so complete, so balanced and so practical an approach to the spiritual life. Since its first publication in 1609 this book has never gone out of print. This book does what many similar books fail to do, teach the reader to grow in holiness, step by simple step. Written for the layman surrounded by worldliness, this is a masterpiece of mystical and devotional literature, by a great and much loved Doctor of the Church.
