Holiness of life - St. Bonaventure (Trial Version)

Sainteté de la vie - Saint Bonaventure (Version d'essai)

Originally written for women living a monastic life, St. Bonaventure's book on Holiness of Life will appeal to every Christian seeking to advance in spiritual matters. The book starts with a discussion of how achieve self-knowledge and be humble. It then continues with a treatise on how to contemplate on the Passion of Christ and generally how to have a rich prayer life.

Rev. John McIntyre provides an introduction to the material and to St. Bonaventure (1221 -

1274), who was an Italian Franciscan, and scholastic theologian. He was canonized in 1482 and soon after declared to be a doctor of the church.
