This volume in the Companions for the Journey series introduces the reader to the life and spirituality of Francis de Sales, a patron for all those who seek union with God in the midst of the affairs of the world and who seek to live a life of virtue.

"Thomas Dailey guides the reader to understand and experience the beauty and simplicity of the Salesian method of prayer. In entering into the prayer experiences, you will use the power of your imagination, stir the affections of your heart to love God more deeply, and consider practical ways to grow in devotion." (Susan M. Gardner, chairperson, advisory board, De Sales Center for Lay Spirituality, Washington, DC)

"Praying with Francis de Sales is an attractive introduction to the richness and wisdom of Salesian spirituality. The meditations weave together episodes from the saint's life with passages from his writings and from the Scriptures. Those already familiar with Francis de Sales will also find much here that is fresh and exciting." (Joseph F. Chorpenning, OSFS, PhD, Saint Joseph's University, Philadelphia, PA)
