New publications in eBooks *.

We published eleven eBooks by the Jesuit Jeremiah Drexel (lived 1581-1638).
Drexel wrote so gently about problems in a spiritual life, that his works were also enjoyed by Anglicans in England.

Drexel advocated spiritual reading, physical mortification, prayer and work, the fight against idleness and the constant thoughts of God, and the visualization of the torments of hell and the destiny of heaven asp individual psychological arrempts against temptations ‘out there’.

Own studies of consciousness is also important to him. Drexel therefore recommends using a psychological cognitive (of course not in this wording) methodology, such as an attitude or even mentally to operate with anticipations, thus, to combat life’s omnipresent dangers.

Another Jesuit writer shall be introduced here, his name is Jean L. Surin (lived 1600–1665), we republished his works in nine eBooks, including the Ten Commandments.
Surin emphasizes the individual necessity to a pure and complete will for perfection. He sees the Holy Spirit as the guide to perfection, to whom a person should surrender completely. Everything in his writings lays obviously in own observations and he described individual experience as the most central category having unity with God as pure and precious love.

Here is a brief introduction why and how we present some text pagess in ENGLISH LANGUAGE together with GERMAN LANGUAGE texts in the same page.

Approx. half of our titles are in German Language, including names of collections, sets, subsets, Biographic Records etc. Therefore, we decided to leave all related Webpages in German Language. And where adequate to content of our Media / eBooks, of course we introduced such Webpages in English Language or French Language.

Now, we continue here in German language with more brief Author / title listings ***:
