About this listen

Salvation and spiritual perfection should not be sought haphazardly; a strategy is needed to win the battle for our souls.

The Spiritual Combat, first published in 1589, provides timeless guidance in spiritual discipline. St. Francis de Sales (1576-1622) read from it himself every day and recommended it to everyone under his direction.

Vigorous, realistic, and full of keen insight into human nature, The Spiritual Combat consists of short chapters based on the maxim that in the spiritual life one must either "fight or die". Fr. Scupoli shows the Christian how to combat his passions and vices, especially impurity and sloth, in order to arrive at victory.

Phenomenal book. Simply and beautiful written. Extremely helpful and inspiring for the everyday adventure in pursuit of the virtuous life, the spiritual battle against sin and the peace of the soul. It's amazing that this book has been written hundreds of years ago and it's so extremely relevant and useful. Timeless, you might call it.
