The Noonday Devil (Spiritual Support in Middle Age) por S.J. Bernard Basset
British Jesuit Father Bernard Basset, noted author, lecturer, and retreat-master, discusses the problem of the "Noonday Devil" of discouragement and spiritual sloth (acedia) that is often encountered during the middle age of our lives.

While some of his references and language are dated, the book (so far) offers encouragement. I am only in the third chapter.
