Worthy of small group discussion,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Let Go (Paperback)
This stirring, easy-to-read book ought to be passed out in every English-speaking church in the world. The author, Francois de Salignac de La Mothe Fenelon, has written letters to people within the court of King Louis XIV on the practical matters of living out their faith in a secular world. Excerpts from those letters are translated in modern English for this book. The preface reads, "Consider turning to this book not primarily to expose your mind to idea, but rather to seek to enter into companionship with this friend of God." That statement hints at the mystical quality of these letters. Fenelon urges us to live by faith through the empowering grace of Jesus Christ and to avoid loving knowledge to the extent that we may know more truth than we live. One letter is titled, "Our Knowledge Stands in the Way of Our Becoming Wise," and in another letter, he writes, "We are in danger of evaluating our spiritual maturity on the basis of the amount of knowledge we have acquired." That hits hard for someone who is more inclined to learn rather than to act. Fenelon says that the Lord is the God of truth and love, and we must act in love on the truth we know.But there's more in the book than this. Other titles include, "Advantages of Humility," "Death of Self," "The Sight of Our Imperfections Should Not Take Away Our Peace," "True Friendships Are Founded Only in God," and "Beware the Pride of Reasoning." Don't pass up meditating on this inspirational book.

Messages for the heart.,
By kene@elliscom.com (Oshkosh WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Let Go (Paperback)
This loose translation of Fenelon's letters to friends speaks directly to the heart. Fenelon's approach is "right attitudes will lead to correct thinking" instead of the more common approach of "right thinking will lead to correct attitudes." Even the chapter titles will cause the remotely sensitive heart to reflect on its attitude towards other people and circumstances. My family is on its second generation of Fenelon writings and both generations have found Let Go to be an all time favorite.

Let Go,
This review is from: Let Go (Paperback)
This may well be my favorite book after the bible.It is a must read for anyone wanting to live the deeper Christian life.The key,according to Fenelon is to let go of your own selfish will,in order to surrender to God's will in your life.Buy it and learn to let go to your God.
