Surrender to Christ for Mission

Reviews / Votes

"Surrender to Christ for Mission is a masterful guide to the extraordinarily rich, though sometimes underappreciated, French spiritual traditions of the 17th through the 19th centuries. This collection of well-written and reader-friendly essays, authored by a team of distinguished specialists in the field of Christian spirituality, offers a fresh, timely, and judicious introduction to these traditions' major figures and themes that makes this book an essential resource for both the scholar and the general reader."Joseph F. Chorpenning, OSFS, President, International Commission for Salesian Studies (ICSS) "This helpful collection makes available in straightforward style the many dimensions of traditional French spirituality for today's reader. Through both historical and thematic approaches, and with special attention to mission to the marginalized, it lays out the unity and diversity within the movement."Carolyn Osiek, RSCJ, Archivist, Society of the Sacred Heart, United States-Canada Province "This book, both scholarly and spiritually edifying, gives us an opportunity of reclaiming that vision for our own time. It is highly recommended for seminary and academic libraries."Catholic Library World
