This book has changed me more than anything else I've ever read. I have learned to accept my ordinariness as God's will and stop thinking something is wrong with me for not making some impact on the community. Fr. de Caussade helped me to understand that I actually don't know what I may be contributing, or even if God is asking me to contribute all of the time. I feel I can wait with inner peace for God's prompts when/if he wants me to do something and just to live ordinary life in love - treating everyone and every circumstance as the expression of God that it is.I read this with a dear friend. She has been changed in different ways; her issues were different from mine. But we both agree that we have moved deeply into the abandonment to the will of God that we have both wanted from reading this book.
Don't be surprised if you intend to read a chapter at a sitting but have to stop for the day because what you've read needs time to sink in. What Fr. de Caussade wrote with catch your breath sometimes and the realization and understanding you move into are so astonishing, you just can't continue reading until later.

Abandonment to divine providence Jean Pierre de Caussade 9781176182462 Books Reviews
Loved the book so much, I am re-reading it. It has wonderful advice and quite a blessing. Thank you for having it available at a great price
I love this book. I actually bought another copy after losing mine. It really makes you want to be closer to God. This book is great for contemplation. I read a section at a time and then pray. One warning is that this is not something you can read in a hurry.
An excellent resource for the serious minded reader who truly desires to become "all in" to God's purposes and will in their lives. Reading it with other likeminded sojourners or with the guidance of a spiritual director is advisable. This is not for speed reading but those who will chew on the words and truly seek to know God.
This book has changed my life by teaching and persuading me to live in the present moment. This was the key to eliminating anxiet and fear in my life. The author teaches in such a simple way the path to holiness. It is exciting to unburden oneself from the burdens of the world which so often bring despondency and despair as well anxiety anout the past and f ear of the future.
The only thing we own is the present moment where we can make a choice to think or act, or not to. The past is gone and the future is speculation. Fear is speculation about the future about something that will cause pain. This book is amazing and I highly recommend it. As a pancreatic cancer patient, I can only begin to express what this work is doing for me. I only wish I knew about this in my 20s.
This is not an easy read, but it's a good one. I have to read a bit...think about it...and sometimes read again, but the insights are worth the effort.
NB This review has been updated as of 16/04/2014. To be current, skip to the end. The rest is probably chaff.
This litle book is what you need when all else has failed. John Beevers uses the modern idiom to get across the ideas that Jean Pierre de Caussade offered to his friends for their comfort and holiness in finding God in all things. It takes a modern Jesuit to bring into the present moment the lessons of an 18th Century Jesuit who went beyond religion to help the Religious understand what their religion had taught them. While there are many presentations and formats of the "Classic" English language translation done and introduced by Dom Arnold, O.S.B. in 1921, all of these variations are dry, academic, and tedious compared to John Beevers' American rendition. N.B. at this time, there is NO E-Text or version of Beever's unique work. All of the public domain stuff is the awkward, 1921 translation with different covers and window dressing. Even the version linked to this Beevers BOOK is not the genuine Beevers text. So beware! You have to buy the physical IMAGE book to get the genuine article and sells it.
Now then, you will not be disappointed by purchasing a paper book. Nor will you suffer technological inconvenience by having to actually hold a real book in your hands and use an old fashioned book mark to hold your place. Beevers is the real deal in both style and insight and he follows on from Anthony de Mello's WAY TO LOVE in being an easy read and a friendly guide. In fact, De Mello and all of the well written books on spirituality you have enjoyed up until now, have brought you to the present moment, WHERE YOU ARE NOW ABOUT TO ENCOUNTER THIS LITTLE GEM OF A BOOK!
There is a caveat, however. This is not a book for exploration or casual inquiry. This is serious spirituality for the latter part of your life (no matter when it begins). If you have not yet "made" the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, it would be a good idea to do so. The "19th Annotation" for those of us who are busy, is a good introduction, and when you have finally arrived at the point where you are feeling overwhelmed at finding God in everything, this book, by John Beevers, S.J. is your next step. If you are at this stage, then no further explanation is either adequate or necessary.
If you are here because of curiosity, you will probably be bitterly disappointed or even disillusioned. On the other hand, you might be caught up on the crest of Grace, whether or not you choose to admit it, and that being the case, you may proceed as far as you are carried. Do not however, make the mistake of reading a lesser (cheaper) version of the Abandonment to Divine Providence in order to get a "taste" of what the book offers. If you do and you become less than completely enthralled with the Sacrament of the Present Moment, the problem is most likely the translation. If you insist on continuing, scrape up the needed cash and buy the Image book. Then, prepare yourself prayerfully, trying to forget all the unpleasantness, and take the "easy" path that John Beevers has laid out for you.
Dare I say, providentially, offers you the opportunity to read John Beevers' Introduction on line. A few minutes spent here will be most beneficial and should give you a good idea of what to expect.
And now for the testimonial
Abandonment is true joy and peace. Yes, the Kingdom is most definitely here and now, and this particular publication is the best roadmap I have found in over seven decades of searching.
So, give it a try. The book is under $10, and if it is not for you now, it will be someday.
UPDATE I just bought another copy - to give to a friend.
UPDATE I'm on my second reading and as a daily reader, it just keeps getting better.
UPDATE I'm now on my seventh reading. Each day I read passage and it is always new. Why is this? You figure it out. Best $10 I ever spent.
April 6 2014, UPDATE
Well, I just read my original review with the intention of deleting the whole thing and leaving just a sentence or two and, so much for intentions. For what it is worth, here are my couple of sentences and the wordy review will have to stand as amended
I have just completed my 16th (count 'em SIXTEEN) reading of this book, the last 8 on my so that brings this up to date, and I am still learning by my daily readings. If you are reading this, there is a reason. To quote St. Francis, I have done what was mine to do, you must do what is yours. Nothing more need be said.
This book really pricks the ego...my prideful heart did not want to continue reading...however it is a wonderful display of God's will for my life...highly recommend reading this book but rest assured it hurts considerably
This book has changed me more than anything else I've ever read. I have learned to accept my ordinariness as God's will and stop thinking something is wrong with me for not making some impact on the community. Fr. de Caussade helped me to understand that I actually don't know what I may be contributing, or even if God is asking me to contribute all of the time. I feel I can wait with inner peace for God's prompts when/if he wants me to do something and just to live ordinary life in love - treating everyone and every circumstance as the expression of God that it is.
I read this with a dear friend. She has been changed in different ways; her issues were different from mine. But we both agree that we have moved deeply into the abandonment to the will of God that we have both wanted from reading this book.
Don't be surprised if you intend to read a chapter at a sitting but have to stop for the day because what you've read needs time to sink in.
