The glories of divine grace
Book • 1886
Matthias Joseph Scheeben's 'The Glories of Divine Grace' presents sanctifying grace as the soul's share in the divine life, explaining its nature, effects, and practical means of growth.
Originally adapted from a 17th-century Spanish Jesuit work, Scheeben reshaped it into a comprehensive, devotional theological guide aimed at lay readers.
The book is structured to explain what grace is, how it effects union with God, how it operates in the soul, its fruits, and practical steps for growing in holiness.
Celebrated for marrying sound dogmatic theology with pastoral warmth, it has influenced many Catholics seeking a deeper spiritual life.
Recent reissues (including a hardback co-published by TAN and Emmaus Road) have made it more widely available to contemporary readers.
