Customer Reviews

A classic on the spiritual life5
This work is the most comprehensive study of the interior life available. It is a veritable encyclopedia of the Catholic tradition, with emphasis on the Thomistic and Dominican tradition. The work is organized on the basis of the traditional three-fold division of the interior life: 1) beginners; 2) the proficient; 3) the perfect. Common characteristics, problems, and advice for each stage are provided. The organic development of the spiritual life is emphasized in a manner which avoids the over-schematization common in manuals of the period. A notable contribution Garrigou-Lagrange makes is his insistence upon the fact that the contemplative life and the heights of mystical union are not a something reserved for the few, but rather the summit of the normal path to sanctity for all people.

What They Never Taught You But You Need To Know5
If you are a Catholic and/or interested
in knowing what Catholic spiritual
life is all about,
look no further.

"The Three Ages of the Interior Life"
is a masterpiece of Christian spirituality
literature.
It is timeless and traditional.
A modern exposition for modern man
to escape the soul-killing brutality
of "modernism".

If you have only one book on the subject
of Christian spirituality,
this very well may be the one to have.

"Fire Within" on Steroids5
This book is totally amazing. If you liked Fire Within by Fr. Dubay, you'll love this more indepth look at growth in the spiritual life. It's greatest strength over Fire Within is that he includes how spiritual progress looks in the life of an active person living in the world. It is full of useful and practical information for growth in holiness.
