One can easily see why St. Francis de Sales received the title \"Doctor of Charity\" from the works selected (\u003ci\u003eIntroduction to the Devout Life\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003ci\u003e Consoling Thoughts\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003ci\u003e Sermons\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003ci\u003e Catholic Controversies\u003c\/i\u003e), as his outpouring of it is evident in each of the four works. \u003ci\u003eIntroduction to the Devout Life \u003c\/i\u003eis his efforts to help other souls love God like he did; \u003ci\u003eConsoling Thoughts \u003c\/i\u003eexpresses his love for suffering souls in giving them solace and exhortation to continue; \u003ci\u003eSermons\u003c\/i\u003e relay his daily love for his flock, preaching to them about the different aspects God's love; and finally, \u003ci\u003eCatholic\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e Controversies \u003c\/i\u003eis his apologetical love, exerting effort to win souls back to the Church. \u003cbr\u003ePerhaps more than any other saint, St. Francis preached truth with love. His teachings, his works, and his very presence were consoling to those 72,000 lost souls of Switzerland and to millions of more over the centuries. Now, then, it is our hope that they will offer hope, consolation to a new generation of Catholics and spur on greater love of God and neighbor. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tan Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781505128505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.20h x 9.90w x 6.30d","brand":"Francis de Sales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42737806573749,"sku":"9781505128505","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_7e57efc3-b271-49f4-a0be-81b50c4a9ac0.jpg?v=1676385486","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-st-francis-de-sales-signature-set-9781505128505","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
