Jeremiah Lorrig's Reviews > Introduction to the Devout Life

I was expecting it to be a good read; I was not expecting it to be profoundly insightful. It was.

This book is styled almost like a long letter of practical advice to a friend who asked for advice on how to life the Christian life better. It not only covers advice on prayer and how to prepare yourself for a deeper experience at church, but also thoughtful insights on how to handle difficult people and practically how you can examine your motives.

Not to be confused with Saint Francis of Assisi, this writer cuts to the heart of issue after issue and just when you think he is going to turn you off by taking a point too far, he balances himself. His wisdom is not to be ignored by a Christian serious about their faith.
