The 17th century bishop Francis de Sales is known in the Catholic tradition as the doctor of love. His genius was to adapt a practical spirituality for people living in the world. His key ingredient for Christian perfection is friendship. Friendship is a special relationship that aids and consoles on what he calls the rough and slippery paths of life. Investigating both the man and his theory of friendship, this book surveys the great thinkers on the subject to learn how the mystery of friendship is essential for human and spiritual growth.
