Abandonment to Divine Providence - Jean-Pierre de Caussade

By Jean-Pierre de Caussade

"Let go and let God." This popular phrase captures the essence of Father Jean-Pierre de Caussade's 18th century treatise on trust, Abandonment to Divine Providence. Do you doubt? Do you suffer? Are you anxious about the trials of life? Father de Caussade offers the one sure solution to any spiritual difficulty: abandon yourself entirely to God by embracing the duties of your station in life. With wisdom and gentleness he teaches how to practice complete submission to the will of God in every situation, whether we are beginners or seasoned travelers on the way of perfection. True abandonment, he explains, is a trusting, peaceful, and childlike surrender to the guidance of grace.

For more than 250 years, this simple classic of inspiration has guided readers of all faiths to the open-hearted acceptance of God’s will that is the sure path to serenity, happiness, and spiritual peace.
