I'm reading Eternal Hell by Fr Chazal.  Truly terrifying.

I seem to have stumbled on Abandonment to Divine Providence by Jean Pierre de Caussade.

Thus far it is incredibly helpful and mind opening. 

Can anyone recommend it or tell me anything about their experience with it? 

Thanks!

Another worthy candidate is The Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ by Archbishop Goodier SJ, 1933
