Publisher Description
Written in 1755, Uniformity with God's Will is a wonderful little treatise on the true love of God. Saint Alphonsus de Liguori writes to encourage believers to unify their wills with that of God's, so that they may love God perfectly: "the more one unites his will with the divine will, the greater will be his love of God." To choose otherwise--i.e. to choose not to unify one's will with God's--is "a kind of idolatry." These seven short chapters, not simply prone to abstract speculation, explore concretely how to make one's own will uniform with God's through the hardships of this life. Further, the book discusses the fruit of such a union with God's will: happiness. De Liguori concludes by noting how, in all things, Christians must remain steadfast in their union with God's will. For in so doing, God will "press us to his heart." Challenging and encouraging, Uniformity with God's Will has the power to remind us of what true love of God really is. -Tim Perrine, CCEL Staff Writer

St Alphonsus the Great doctor
This book is a great introduction to St Alphonsus' thought. His simple means of uniformity with god' s will teach us how to get to heaven and become saints. It's ver practical and applies to every single act in our thought during the day. If like me you complain about the weather it's good to remember St Alphonsus saying "all weather is good, and from God, except it's different".
I wish more of St Alphonsus work was available freely. His little gem on visits to the blessed sacrament and the glories of Mary are such spiritual classics that we need to rediscover. Alphonsus was such a great writer his works number more than dickens and Shakespeare put together.
