Jean-Pierre de Caussade, a French Jesuit spiritual director and writer born in the late seventeenth century, is best known for his belief in the sacredness of the present moment, or the "eternal now." His masterpiece, Abandonment to Divine Providence, has been celebrated by spiritual writers as diverse as Richard Foster and Alan Watts for its ability to invoke the mystery of eternity in the now-a tenet of spirituality that resonates across faith traditions.
Accompanied by the probing, expert commentary of Dennis Billy, C.Ss.R., this exemplary edition of de Caussade's Abandonment offers newcomers to mysticism and spiritual direction a clear, compelling path to entering into God's presence.
Endorsements:
"The greatness of Abandonment to Divine Providence and the reason it should be ranked among the classics of Christian devotion is its ability simply and profoundly to lead us to God. De Caussade has read our soul and spoken to our condition. But even more, he has taken us by the hand and led us to the twin paths of trust and obedience that converge onto the highway of godliness."
Richard J. Foster
Author of A Celebration of Discipline
"Since its publication in 1861, Abandonment to Divine Providence by Jean-Pierre de Caussade, S.J. has proven to be not only a spiritual classic but also one of the finest expressions of French and Jesuit mystical theology. Fr. Dennis Billy, C.Ss.R., illuminates the depth and meaning of Abandonment with a commentary that is scholarly, insightful and full of sound spiritual wisdom."

"This book is a marvelousgift. In a time which is practically defined by "distractions" we can all find our way to God by reading both Fr. Billy's luminous commentary and the classic text itself. While reading this book citizens of the frenetic Western world will desire, and perhaps even know, the healing found in receiving God as He comes to us at every moment of our day. In a real way, then, this book assists all of us to know freedom; and the dissolution of anxiety born of a distracted age."
