About this listen
A systematic work on the love of God by a great saint in the faith. St Francis de Sales brings the reader into the realm of eternal love by the truth and revelations he himself received by the grace of God. Treatise on the love of God was completed after his well known work Introduction to the Devout Life. St Francis touches on many subjects throughout this extensive piece, including the following: the heavenly birth of divine love, the progress and perfection of love, the exercises of holy love in prayer, and the commandment of loving God above all things. A marvelous work of literature for the child of God, whether Protestant or Catholic. Whether young or old, may you truly be blessed as you listen to this book!

Take a deep breath, dear Theotimus
This is a very special book, full of wisdom and beauty and of course love. Unfortunately I'm not a marathon runner like this narrator, and often, if I'm not completely lost, I get distracted by the sharp intakes of breath every now and then that he needs to keep the speed flowing. This may be good for some texts, but the depth and detail of de Sales writing really needs to be dwelt upon at a more gentle pace. My usual method for reading these old texts is to listen first to the audiobook, from which I get a good idea of the whole work, and then when I read the book itself it's like revisiting an old friend and I can pick up and meditate on the important details without being distracted. This has worked well for my reading of St John of the Cross, Theresa of Avila and Thomas Merton. Unfortunately in this case I feel like if I'm to be able to get anything from this audiobook, I need to read it first in print form. Of course I shouldn't complain, your experience may be different, and we should have faith that the text will work on our souls even if our limited understanding can't always keep up. If you want to listen to this beautiful book, I wish you good luck.
