Abandonment to Divine Providence by Jean-Pierre De Caussade

Abandonment to Divine Providence by Jean-Pierre De Caussade

For more than 250 years, this simple classic of inspiration has guided readers of all faiths to the open-hearted acceptance of God's will that is the sure path to serenity, happiness, and spiritual peace.

"A spiritual classic of the first order... a book for all those who truly seek God." --Dom David Knowles

"Father de Caussade has a wonderful way of encouraging the doubtful, of nurturing the personal surrender that is so much a part of the development of faith. The book is a mystery of its own -- and is definitely not for Christians only." --Rabbi Joshua Chasan

"Abandonment to Divine Providence is a classic perhaps more necessary now than ever before. It's a little book that rightly rejects the spirituality of fear and trembling (and the modern preoccupation with dreary self-absorption) in favor of an abiding trust in God's active benevolence. This is a work one reads again and again, always with gratitude and astonishment." --Donald Spoto, Author of Blue Angel and The Dark Side of Genius

In 1708, Jean-Pierre de Caussade was ordained a member of the Society of Jesus in Toulouse, France. He was named spiritual director of the Jesuit retreat home in Nancy in 1731, where he oversaw the spiritual supervision of the Visitation Nuns. This book is made up of notes from his addresses to nuns. Kitty Muggeridge, the wife of novelist and journalist Malcolm Muggeridge, is a well-known translator.
