This collection of the best of Saint Alphonsus Liguori covers all aspects of the spiritual life and focuses on one dominating theme: prayer--a way of life for Alphonsus and the basis of his spirituality. Introduced with an essay by Barry Ulanov, The Way of Saint Alphonsus Liguori is an all-in-one compilation taken chiefly from his books on the Christian virtues, on the mysteries of the faith (the Incarnation, the Redemption, the Eucharist), and on what he calls with celebrated precision 'the glories of Mary.' Perfect for modern readers, these instructions, meditations, and prayers from the works of the great founder of the Redemptorists form an insightful introduction to the necessity and value of prayer for the sake of salvation.
