Sinners Guide: The 16th-Century Classic on Resisting Temptation and Overcoming SinThe Sinner's Guide_ The 16th-Century Class

IN THE SINNER’S GUIDE, Venerable Louis de Granada proves himself a masterful spiritual director, showing how life in Christ is a beautiful way of life, worthy of all our efforts to pursue it. Numerous saints have enthusiastically recommended the works of this Dominican master of the spiritual life. In this age of relentless activity, it is easy for Christians, particularly those involved in good works, to fall into the pattern of the activist. But mere activity and material results are not sufficient for a successful apostolate. Dom Chautard demonstrates that the very foundation of all apostolic work must be the Interior Life. The apostle of Christ will grow to become an instrument and true channel of God's graces to the world only through prayer, meditation and the cultivation of the Interior Life. When one is involved in works of spiritual or corporal charity, his work can only be truly efficacious when he anchors his Interior Life in Christ. Without Christ, we can do nothing. Dom Chautard will teach you: The pre-eminence of the Interior Life over the Active Life (the anti-thesis of the core error of Americanism according to Pope Leo XIII in Longinqua Oceana). The dangers of the Active Life: for you and your apostolate. The Devil's special temptations for those working for Our Lord. The steps necessary in order to develop and grow in the Interior Life. The necessity of the Interior Life to a successful and spiritually fruitful apostolate. For anyone who would work for Our Lord and His Church, there is simply no book more important to read and to follow than The Soul of the Apostolate.
