This collection of five books contains Fenelon's outstanding teachings on prayer, suffering, the achievement of virtue, and other spiritually crucial tenets. Uniting aspects of philosophy with Christian theology and spiritualist thought, Fenelon presents here a lively set of treatises where esoteric knowledge and concepts are put to singular good purpose: enhancing and informing the spiritual life of the reader. Although at times arcane, the advice given is rooted in the Christian tradition and scriptures. Fenelon never attained mainstream popularity as an author during or after his life, however he was and remains a favorite of scholars and religious adherents seeking to explore the deepest channels of their faith. Although more difficult than other inspirational authors, Fenelon's authenticity and depth cannot be doubted.

In this book, Francois Fenelon advises new Christians to turn away from the world and follow Jesus, depending only on him. As a rejuvenated arrangement and paraphrase of an elderly translation from the original French, this edition captures Fenelon's timeless counsel in the language of the present.

Stories by Catherine Bernard, Fran ois F nelon, Louis de Mailly and Jean de Pr chac. This volume includes three tales by Catherine Bernard (1662-1712), one of the originators of contes de f es, that deliberately subvert not merely their narrative strategy, but also their entire mythology; two enigmatic allegories of French history as seen through the prism of faerie by Jean de Pr chac (1647-1720); four stories by Fran ois F nelon (1651-1715), and The Illustrious Fays, a collection of tales by Chevalier de Mailly (1657-1724), which shows how the contes de f es quickly became suited to very different narrative purposes. The variety embraced by these stories is a striking illustration of the versatility of a format that seemed, at first, to be rather narrow. If some of stories seem more stereotyped and less ambitious, the spectrum they display is not lacking in color and variety, and the more flamboyant of them make significant additions to the imagery assembled by the core writers of the original school.

In Freedom from Self, Fran ois F nelon advises Christians to turn from their own selves and their hunger for the world and instead seek a true knowledge of God and life in the kindgom of God.

Excerpt: ARTICLE SECOND I. Of the subjects of this mixed love all are not equally advanced. II. Mixed love becomes pure love, when the love of self is relatively, though not absolutely, lost in a regard to the will of God. This is always the case, when the two objects are loved in their due proportion. So that pure love is mixed love when it is combined rightly. III. Pure love is not inconsistent with mixed love, but is mixed love carried to its true result. When this result is at-tained, the motive of God's glory so expands itself, and so fills the mind, that the other motive, that of our own happiness, becomes so small, and so recedes from our inward notice, as to be practically annihilated. It is then that God becomes what He ever ought to be the center of the soul, to which all its affections tend; the great moral sun of the soul, from which all its light and all its warmth proceed. It is then that a man thinks no more of himself. He has become the man of a "single eye." His own happiness, and all that regards himself, is entirely lost sight of in his simple and fixed look to God's will and God's glory. IV. We lay ourselves at His feet. Self is known no more; not because it is wrong to regard and to desire our own good, but because the object of desire is withdrawn from our notice. When the sun shines, the stars disappear. When God is in the soul who can think of himself? So that we love God, and God alone; and all other things in and for God.

F nelon was always approachable, and on his walks often conversed with those he chanced to meet. He loved to visit the peasants in their houses, interested himself in their joys and sorrows, and, to avoid paining them, accepted the simple gifts of their hospitality. During the War of the Spanish Succession the doors of his palace were open to all the poor who took refuge in Cambrai. The rooms and stairways were filled with them, and his gardens and vestibules sheltered their live stock. He is yet remembered in the vicinity of Cambrai and the peasants still give their children the name F nelon, as that of a saint. The debate over the existence of God is one of the questions that has animated Western philosophy for thousands of years. In this engaging volume, Catholic theologian Francois Fenelon provides an overview of some of the most compelling arguments for and against the existence of God. A must-read for believers and skeptics alike.

F nelon, claimed in brotherhood by Christians of every denomination, was born in Perigord, on the 6th of August, 1651. To the world he is F nelon; he was Fran ois de Salignac de la Mothe F nelon to the France of his own time. He wrote many works, of which this is one, and they have been collected into twenty volumes. The translation here given was anonymous, and was first published in the year 1713.
