From Sin to Sanctity, translated by TAN Books, is a collection of prayers and meditations St. Anselm composed in response to an inquiry by a pious woman named Adelaide. As St. Anselm states, he wrote these prayers for Adelaide so that her heart “might tend toward a more burning charity of God, and that through the rigorous introspection the prayers demand, she may more despise her sins, by desiring to grow more humble, and by humbling, experience the terror of her final judgment and that such a moment of distress might result in groans and tears.” The devout soul who truly prays these prayers to God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and select apostles and saints, finds that he must humbly acknowledge how he can do nothing without Jesus.

Each prayer within these pages is accompanied by a brief introduction and followed by probing questions for your own spiritual meditation and introspection. This deluxe edition was made to withstand time, as its contents have, with leatherette binding, gilded pages, and a beautifully designed, gold-foiled cover. Like Adelaide, and many before her, we can be challenged and edified by the wisdom of St. Anselm contained in these prayers and meditations.
