Before being published as a small book, these "counsels of perfection" and spiritual notes by Blessed Edward Poppe (1890-1924), a Belgian priest whose cause for canonization is under way, had been transcribed a hundred times by hand by those who had tasted their flavor, vigor, and supernatural wisdom. Fresh and luminous, this little book has been a tremendous success in Dutch, French, Italian, and German; it now appears at last in English. Responding well to the needs of the faithful, it will become an inseperable vademecum for all those who wish to live "under the gaze of God."

- This book is printed in a 16 pt Large Print for easier reading. Dorian Gray is a young man who embodies refinement, grace, and allure, but as with all beautiful things, Dorian knows his good looks will not last. Artist Basil Hallward paints Dorian's portrait. With the understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the painting, rather than he, will age and fade - his wish is granted.Through the artist Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, and he soon is enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonistic world view: that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only things worth pursuing in life. Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied amoral experiences while staying young and beautiful; all the while, his portrait ages and records every sin.Disturbed by the fact that the painting is changing and becoming uglier, Dorian's demeanor changes towards the painting decides to take fateful action to reverse the curse.
