About this book
A work with the subtitle Or, Absolute Surrender to Divine Providence is by Jean Pierre de Caussade. The preface says that there is no truth however clear which does not become error the moment it is lessened or exaggerated. The text says we should commit the success of our efforts to God, and be ready to accept failure if God judges it more suitable to His designs and more profitable to our souls.
The text asks whether this abandonment should extend equally to our acts of imprudence, to our faults, and all the annoyances of every kind in which they may result. The text says that whatever we read or see becomes divine science only through the fecundity, the virtue, the light, which the possession of this experience gives, and that without this science all our learning is like unleavened dough, lacking the salt and seasoning of experience.
