This essay is about spiritual formation, spirituality, or personal transformation in the presence of God. Scorgie understands spirituality to be about experiencing the Triune God in a personally transforming way. He argues that intimacy with the holy God is necessarily purging and sanctifying. He is therefore careful not to make an artificial division between spirituality and ethics. The thesis of this article is that Protestants can profit from a selective appropriation of the spirituality of Francis de Sales. At the heart of his spirituality lies a profound yearning for God.
