I tried to post this in the CAF book forum where I naturally thought it belonged, but apparently that’s not allowed. (sorry but I don’t understand and I’m a little irritated.)

I was wondering if anyone has read the books I Want To See God and I Am A Daughter of the Church by Fr. Marie-Eugene. They look really good, but are they all that different from Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales? I know they’re Carmelite but all Catholic spiritualities have common ground so I wasn’t sure if it’s necessary to read them if one has St. Francis’ book?

Thanks in advance for your replies:)
 
Wow, I have never heard of those, and I thought I had pretty much searched a bit of everything! Not that I can help at the moment, but I will check them out!
 
If you are into Carmelite spirituality, I would hightly recommend them. They follow SS Teresa and John to a great extent.

St. Francis de Sales is, of course, a wonderful author but does not write from a specifically Carmelite perspective.

I would say go for it and read them.
