The Imitation of Christ
The Story of a Soul
Abandonment to Divine Providence
The Interior Castle
An Introduction to the Devout Life

Thomas à Kempis's The Imitation of Christ - Since its initial publication in 1418, this book speaks to the soul of every genuine Christian, reminding us of the ephemeral nature of earthly happiness in contrast to the eternal nature of God's happiness. Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, who adored it and knew it by heart, relied on it as her favorite spiritual guidance.

The Story of a Soul, by St. Therese of Lisieux - Saint Thérèse's autobiography reveals the mysteries of her great sanctity, which she attained through a life of simplicity and ordinariness, and was only written under the command of her superior. It instructs her in the "Little Way of Spiritual Childhood," which she refers to as her "elevator to Heaven."

Abandonment to Divine Providence by Fr. Jean-Pierre de Caussade - Father de Caussade offers the only sure solution to any spiritual problem: abandon yourself completely to God by embracing the responsibilities of your station in life. Whether we are novices or seasoned pilgrims on the path to perfection, he instructs us with prudence and kindness on how to practice total submission to God's will in every circumstance. He explains that true abandonment is a trusting, tranquil, and innocent submission to the guidance of grace.

The Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Ávila - Saint Teresa envisions the soul as a magnificent castle containing expansive and ornate chambers. And, as described by Saint Teresa, the seat of the King stands at the centre of this citadel.

An Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales - St. Francis de Sales enlightens us to the fact that we are all called to a life of piety. Saint Francis de Sales notes that genuine devotion to God adorns every vocation. Saint Francis will also clarify that a life devoted to God is a worthy choice in and of itself: "And our blessed Lord Himself assure[s] us that a devout life is a lovely, a pleasant, and a happy life.” The knowledge contained within these pages has inspired the spiritual lives of saints throughout history, and will continue to do so in the future.

In the midst of the confusion of modern commentaries and dubious spiritual advice on the internet, these classics are a reliable source of spiritual wisdom upon which we can rely completely to guide our love for Christ and His Church. To mirror the eternal wisdom contained in these books, we have now created gorgeous and immutable editions that anyone will be proud to keep in their collection.
