This is Part II of the Treatise: ""Treatise on the Love of God"", an authoritative work which reflects perfectly the mind and heart of Francis de Sales as a great genius and a great saint. It contains twelve books. The first four give us a history, or rather explain the theory, of Divine love, its birth in the soul, its growth, its perfection, and its decay and annihilation; the fifth book shows that this love is twofold - the love of complacency and the love of benevolence; the sixth and seventh treat of affective love, which is practiced in prayer; the eight and ninth deal with effective love, that is, conformity to the will of God, and submission to His good pleasure. The last three resume what has preceded and teach how to apply practically the lessons taught therein.

our actions, and frequent recourse to God by pious and confiding ejaculations and interior aspirations. ""An Introduction to the Devout Life"", a work intended to lead ""Philothea"", the soul living in the world, into the paths of devotion, that is to say, of true and solid piety. Every one should strive to become pious, and ""it is an error, it is even a heresy"", to hold that piety is incompatible with any state of life. In the first part the author helps the soul to free itself from all inclination to, or affection for, sin; in the second, he teaches it how to be united to God by prayer and the sacraments; in the third, he exercises it in the practice of virtue; in the fourth, he strengthens it against temptation; in the fifth, he teaches it how to form its resolutions and to persevere.

The objective of this effort is to bring together the thoughts and anecdotes from history's greatest minds regarding the issues confounding many Christians. Within this volume are an array of topics, which begin with the letters E thru K.The responses, admonition and precepts presented within these pages are unlike anything preciously published. What you are holding is the wisdom of various monks from the begging of the Christian Era down to modern times.This work is the advice of various monks to other fellow monks and those who came for advice. Within these pages are assembled by topic, various issues which have been handed down as the premier advice regarding a topic. These same individuals are well recognized as being among the "Fathers of the Church", "Desert Fathers" and more recent Abbots and Bishops. This is the first of its kind in print today, and is also the second volume of a larger collection of four.

Philip Schaff's History of the Christian Church excels at providing an impressive and instructive historical treatment of the Christian church. This is Volume Two covering from 100 A.D. to 325 A.D.This volumous work begins with the early Church at its formative era. This volume and the previous will comprise the major individual and their writings, which shall comprise the first five (5) volumes of the Ante-Nicene Series. Schaff's treatment is comprehensive and in depth, discussing all the major and minor figures, time periods, and movements of the Church. One feature of the "History of the Christian Church", which readers will immediately notice is just how beautifully written it is, in particular when comparing other texts of a similar nature. Simply put, Schaff's prose is lively and engaging.Quite often, these works can be grueling and drudgery, yet this effort have been able to make it ""history written with heart and soul.""

The Abbey of St. Victor, from which the great Latin hymnologist takes his name, and which, originally, was in the suburbs of Paris, was later on absorbed into the city itself, as she enlarged her borders, was celebrated, especially in the twelfth century, as a school of theology.Probably no other religious foundation could boast of such a brilliant triad of doctors of divinity, as the one that graced this Abbey during that century in the persons of Hugh of St. Victor, known to his generation as the "Second Augustine;" his pupil, Richard of St. Victor, named Alter Augustine; and Adam of St. Victor, the author of the Sequences in these volumes, who, as will be apparent to the most cursory reader was even deeply versed in the learning of the school to which he belonged.

In our continuing effort to publish as much work of the writers within the St. Victor Abbey, which established the first major university of this era and with France, known today as the University of Paris, we debut this series with the works of Adam of St. Victor.ADAM of ST.
