Abandonment To Divine Providence

In a conversation with my spiritual director we were talking about living in the present moment and how intentional living creates presence (and hopefully an incarnate life as well). He recommended this book. I would recommend an Eckhart Tolle book on presence over this one but I did love a number of the points Caussade makes when it comes to the will of God - "The Holy Spirit is not at work in the world; the Spirit is at work in the hearts of people and transformation of the world comes from transformed hearts." That is true incarnation.

A Question For The Comments: What do you believe about the will of God for your life?

About The Book:

Contained within this volume is the first part of "Abandonment to Divine Providence" by Jean-Pierre De Caussade, a treatise on the practice of total abandonment to Divine Providence, or in other words, completely giving yourself over to God's will. A spiritual classic, "Abandonment to Divine Providence" will delight readers of all faiths as they discover the spiritual guidance that this volume has to offer. Jean Pierre de Caussade (7 March 1675 – 8 December 1751) was a French Jesuit priest and writer. He is especially known for the work ascribed to him, Abandonment to Divine Providence, and also his work with the Nuns of the Visitation in Nancy, France.
