The Spiritual Combat & The Path of Paradise or Of Inward Peace

The Spiritual Combat & The Path of Paradise or Of Inward Peace by Fr. Lorenzo Scupoli C.R. (1530-1610). I think in modern parlance it would be titled "A Field Manual for the Spiritual Life" because it is eminently practical, based on study and the front-line experience of an older Priest engaged in the counter-reformation. It has proven its worth to countless souls for centuries, including St. Francis DeSales, who made it his daily companion for years; influencing his own Introduction to the Devout Life. While technically two separate works, The Path of Paradise or Of Inward Peace serves to complete and expand upon certain points raised in The Spiritual Combat so well that they are almost always published together.
