Treatise
on the Spiritual Life
St.
Vincent Ferrer, OP
[translated
by T. A. Dixon]
Any book written by a saint is a treasure, but a book written by one, who was hailed in his time as the “angel of the Apocalypse,” his
Treatise consists of 19 brief instructions on a variety of timeless spiritual topics, all but two of which are easily translatable to the lay apostles of today.

The reader will find especially relevant this great
Dominican preacher’s remedies for getting rid of the
Devil, keeping him always at bay, and discerning true from false revelations. If you want to be a saint, do as Louis Bertrand did, and take to your heart and to your domestic hearth this handy and portable book, written by a
thaumaturgus (wonderworker) who raised over 30 dead people to life and who converted
25,000 Jews, thousands of Mohammedans, and countless thousands of heretics and sinners of all kinds. First
printed in 1944, in 1990 this was one of the first reprints we
undertook.
