==Homage== Rev. [[A. W. Tozer]] highly praises François Fénelon's ''Inner Life (Christian Perfection)'', valuing its profound spiritual insights and practical guidance for deepening one’s relationship with God.<ref name="AllianceW">{{cite web|url=https://cdn.cmalliance.org/archives/alifepdf/AW-1947-05-10.pdf|title=The Alliance Weekly Volume 82 May 10, 1947 Number 19|access-date=}}</ref> Tozer regards it as an essential read for those earnest in pursuing a devout Christian life, emphasizing its timeless significance.<ref name="AllianceW"/> Tozer cherished Fénelon's ''Christian Perfection'' deeply, never lending it out,<ref>{{cite book |title=The Crucified Life: How To Live Out A Deeper Christian Experience|publisher=Bethany House |year=2011 |isbn=978-0830759224}}</ref> and considered it an unparalleled aid to spiritual life.<ref name="AllianceW"/> [[William Godwin]] later referenced Fénelon in book II, chapter II of his [[Enquiry Concerning Political Justice]], as an example of man whose life and continued authorship of important works was so valuable to society at large, that if his palace was in flames and someone was in a position to rescue either Fénelon or his valet (some editions say ''chambermaid''), we should rescue Fenelon, even if the servant was our close relative.<ref>{{cite sep|url-id=https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/godwin/|title=William Godwin|date=17 April 2025|author-last=Philp|author-first=Mark|edition=Summer 2025}}</ref>
