A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Fenelon was a friend of God, and shows you how to be one, too. No question puzzles the average Christian more often than, How do I live out my faith in the midst of a secular world? We were not intended to make the spiritual journey alone. Full aware of life s complexities and the many questions that come with wanting to live authentically in our world, we know we need the voice of someone who has lived more life, someone who knows more about God, more about the soul, more about humanity. In this treasure of a book, Winn Collier presents Francois Fenelon s letters, originally written 300 years ago, as wisdom for today s doubting and troubled Christian.  Topics discussed include the advantages of humility, the death of self, walking in the Holy Spirit, true friendships and their source in God, and how to avoid the pride of reasoning. Fenelon explains how you cannot hold on to God if your hands are full of something else. In all, Fenelon is fatherly, warm and gracious. He is steady and discerning. Fenelon s advice is unflinchingly honest, and he will show you how to be more honest, too.
