Excerpt from The Wisdom of Angels Concerning the Divine Providence: Translated From the Latin of the Hon. Emanuel Swedenborg It may not be foreign to our present Purpose, to take a View of such Opinions, Sentiments, and Reasonings, that so the Clearness, Truth, Excellency and Expediency of our Author's Doctrine in the following wonderful Treatise may the better appear. And first, in Regard to Things natural. If we look into the Writings of the most celebrated Philosophers of modern Times, a very few Names excepted, we shall find all the most remarkable Phenomena of Nature resolved into mere mechanical Operations, as if Nature could of herself operate to produce Effects. We shall see chemical Combinations, and the Compositions of subtle Fluids, appealed to, in Order to account for the several Births, Productions, and Changes observable in the external World and its various Elements. We shall see Divine Mercies and Divine Judgments, as exhibited in temporal Nature, removed far out of fight, being confounded with the uncertain and indeterminate Configurations of Particles of Matter, which are supposed capable of forming such Arrangements, Conjunctions, and Disjunctions, one with another, as to promote the Blessing or Misery of Man by an Agency separate from that of the great Creator.

Excerpt from Angelic Wisdom Concerning the Divine Love and Concerning the Divine Wisdom 3. Some idea of love, as the life of man, may be Obtained from the heat of the sun in the world. It is well known that this heat is as it were the general life of all vegetation on the earth. For when this heat comes forth, as in spring time, plants of every kind spring from the ground - they deck themselves with leaves, afterward with blossoms, and at length with fruits, and thus as it were they live. But when the heat departs, as in autumn and winter, the plants are stripped of these Signs of their life, and wither. It is the same with love in man, for heat and love correspond to each other; wherefore also love is warm.

God is to be found in the simplest of our daily activities and especially through total surrender to whatever is His will for each of us. That is the message of this 18th-century inspirational classic by Jean-Pierre de Caussade. Its encouragement to ""live in the present moment,"" accepting everyday obstacles with faith, humility and love, has guided generations of believers to holiness and spiritual peace. This special volume of the famous spiritual treatise also includes the many insightful letters of Father de Caussade on the practice of self-abandonment. These numerous letters provide a great additional source of wisdom and practical guidance for how to grow in abandonment and to deepen our union with God in our daily lives. De Caussade shows that this practice of self-abandonment to God's will is the key to attaining true peace and virtue, and that it is readily available to all people - from beginners to those well advanced in the spiritual life. He also shows how to determine what God's will is for us. He reveals that it is not extraordinary feats that God expects for our growth in holiness, but rather heroic attention to every detail in our lives and humble acceptance of our daily lot in life as coming from His hand. The rich spiritual lessons in this book have stood the test of time, offering real and practical assistance to all people because its message is simple and clear, one that the reader will find to be a rare treasure of inspiration and direction to be referred to again and again.

Emanuel Swedenborg, an eighteenth century Christian mystic, philosopher and theologian, had a prolific career as an inventor and scientist. At the age of 53, he entered into a spiritual phase in which he began to experience dreams and visions, culminating in a "spiritual awakening" in which he received a revelation that Christ had appointed him to reform Christianity. Swedenborg devoted his enormous energy to interpreting the Bible and to relating what he had seen and heard in the world of spirits and angels. His ‘Arcana Cœlestia’ and ‘Apocalypse Revealed’ provide thought-provoking commentaries on the internal spiritual meaning of Genesis, Exodus and the Book of Revelation, while his famous ‘Heaven and Hell’ gives a mesmerising account of the afterlife and how people live after the death of the physical body.
