Summary

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.

Essential

This might be the best spiritual book I have read, other than the Bible. It's on a par with the writings of Saint Teresa of Avila, and The Imitation of Christ. Read and listen to a little bit every day. Not to be read in a rush, but to be prayerfully consumed. Read again, again and again. The language of the translation is old fashioned, but that should help to slow you down to read more prayerfully. Honestly, everyone should read this. It's wonderful.
