This review is from: Letters of Direction: Thoughts on the Spiritual Life from the Letters of the Abbe De Tourville (Paperback)

"Letters of Direction" has all the hallmarks of a great spiritual guide -- it is simple, direct, and full of love. Abbe de Tourville did much of his direction by letter, as he was not a well man, but his experience gives richness to his wisdom. It is one of the few, deep works of guidance that you can turn to simply to be reminded your are loved, particularly during dark times. This is no syrupy "feel good" book, but the words of a wise spiritual advisor> He is pithy "What you need to realize once and for all is that a good state of soul can, in this world go hand in hand with a feeling of deep inward disharmony", "be open to all ideas" and he compares God to an "Alpine Guide" to whom we are roped. On the spiritual life, to one who wanted to follow the Saints, he advised: "One does not become holy by copying others but by making good use of what is truly part of yourself..." It is a book that I often pick up when I needs some good sound wisdom and a reminder that God is Love. I recommend it as a good bedside companion.
