Souls who seek guidance on their journey will need look no further than the master of spiritual direction himself, St. Francis de Sales. Among his many works, the Doctor of the Church addressed the most difficult issues in a soul's course: spiritual and physical trials, death of loved ones, and darkness, all covered in the Consoling Thoughts of St. Francis de Sales Set.

Volumes included in this set of four are:

• Consoling Thoughts on God
• Consoling Thoughts on Trials of An Interior Life
• Consoling Thoughts on Sickness and Death
• Consoling Thoughts on Eternity

Readers of Consoling Thoughts will experience firsthand why St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622) is known to history as the Gentle Saint. St. Francis was Bishop of Geneva and a tireless preacher, who yet made time to correspond with numerous souls who wrote him for his insight and guidance. His Consoling Thoughts are compiled from these letters as well as from his other spiritual works.
