St. Francis De Sales: The Man, The Thinker, His Influence is the fruit of an immense labour of research and reflection.  Using unpublished manuscripts the author has drawn the synthesis of a wealth of materials which he collected for more than 30 years. He reveals to us, the holiness of St. Francis de sales, his optimism, his kindness, his powerful gentleness, his serene intelligence, his radiant personality and how these characteristics stemmed from his faith and love of God.  The holiness of the Saint was outward-going and all-conquering.

 

Fr. Lajeunie presents in this monumental work, the best existing scientific study in English, a fresh picture of the saint with valuable sources and information.  It contains cross-currents and synthesis of Ignatian, Franciscan, French and Spanish Spirituality.
