Fr. Jean-Pierre de Caussade’s 18th Century work of spiritual direction, ‘Abandonment to Divine Providence’, has rightly become a classic of Christian literature. Divided into two parts, the French Jesuit first considers the implications of relinquishing our own petty wills in favour of complete reliance on that of the Deity, describing the many spiritual blessings that derive from such ‘Abandonment’. In the second part of the book, broad theoretical issues are left behind in favour of an examination of concerns that arise during the stages of spiritual growth. No one who has begun this process can avoid such spiritual crises as weakness and weariness, vanity, attachment, feelings of despair and aridity, lack of confidence, intemperate zeal, and loss of faith. Fr. de Caussade confronts each of these trials with invaluable and profound advice, helping the aspirant to move forward with renewed faith in their ultimate triumph. This is a book of many layers that will repay re-reading at different stages of an individual’s spiritual journey.
