In <em>Not of the World: 20 Lessons on Following Christ without Compromise</em>, readers encounter a treasury of spiritual reflections drawn from his sermons, offering clarity, conviction, and pastoral depth for Christians seeking holiness amid a fallen culture.</p>\n<p>With charity and precision, St. Claude explains the sacrifice demanded by authentic love of Christ. He addresses the realities of Christian life in the world without surrendering to it, calling believers to humility, courage, and fidelity. Topics include love of neighbor, human respect, humility, the education of children, and the hidden dangers of pride and envy. Each lesson urges the reader to examine the heart, embrace the Cross, and pursue virtue without compromise.</p>\n<p>These reflections remain strikingly relevant for those tempted to conform to secular pressures. With theological insight and spiritual sensitivity, St. Claude offers guidance on eradicating vice, cultivating virtue, and remaining steadfast in the Heart of Christ. This collection forms both the conscience and the will, equipping Christians to live visibly and faithfully for the Lord.</p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 1.5rem 0; padding-left: 1.25rem;\">\n<li>Learn how to follow Christ faithfully without yielding to worldly compromise</li>\n<li>Confront pride, envy, and human respect with spiritual clarity</li>\n<li>Grow in humility, charity, and love of neighbor</li>\n<li>Deepen devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through practical application</li>\n</ul>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">From the Book</h3>\n<blockquote style=\"font-style: italic; border-left: 4px solid #E2E2E2; background: #fafafa; padding: 1rem; font-size: 1rem; margin: 1rem 0;\">To love Christ truly is to renounce the spirit of the world and remain steadfast in His Heart, whatever the cost.</blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">Intended Audience</h3>\n<p>This book is ideal for Catholics seeking serious spiritual growth, parish study groups, devotees of the Sacred Heart, and readers drawn to classical sermon literature.</p>\n<p>It is not a light devotional booklet, but a substantive spiritual guide calling the reader to self-examination and disciplined virtue.</p>\n<p>Practical use cases include Lenten reading, spiritual direction accompaniment, parish men&rsquo;s and women&rsquo;s groups, and personal meditation.</p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">FAQs</h3>\n<p><strong>Who was St. Claude La Colombi&egrave;re?</strong><br />He was a Jesuit priest, confessor to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, and a leading promoter of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.</p>\n<p><strong>Is this book based on his sermons?</strong><br />Yes.
