The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything: A Spirituality for Real Life

People from all faiths can get awesome spiritual material from this book.I am a Hindu and I read literature from all faiths and that benefits me a lot.

This is a book I could happily recommend to anyone, regardless of faith, background and degrees of scepticism on matters spiritual. It is highly readable, mixing humour with profundity, anecdote with quotation ensuring that the reader is drawn on; ever keener to learn the wisdom that is to be found on every page of this deeply inspiring and in places, moving book.There is so much to say about this book but there are a few ideas worth picking out.. Live a simple life- focus on what is important, what makes us better people, stronger in faith and more accepting and loving of others?. Prayer – our relationship with God is basis for everything, from the beginning to the end of life, from first thing in the morning to the end of the day. So we should have a routine that ensures we actively relate to God..Reflection- What have we done with our day, where do we owe gratitude, what was good and what was less so. Are we doing the will of God as we discern it or simply wasting our time in dissolute behaviours?.Are we sufficiently ‘detached’ from the World and our own selfish feelings to be able understand the dictates of conscience and the needs of others? Do we have enough time to ourselves to really discern what we need to do with our lives?.Do not be afraid of words like ‘Obedience’ and ‘humility’, they are the keystones to a rich inner life. They do not imply weakness or derogation of personal responsibility, merely a way of being that allows a person to grow in faith and surety of feeling.The Jesuit approach is not about being ‘happy’ and ‘having it all’. it is about the individual adopting a particular set of attitudes, behaviours and beliefs that strengthens their relationship with God and helps them deal with all that is good and bad in life.Wonderful book. Highly recommended.

Es un libro de lenguaje sencillo que te introducirá en la espiritualidad Ignaciana. Es un libro de referencia obligada. El autor ha elaborado una gran obra

Unbelievably good. I bought this after I bought the audible book so I could go over it again and study it a little deeper. It led me to a retreat close to where I live (not in America) and I think I can pretty safely say this started me on a life - changing journey. Amazing outlook on life. Loved it.

il pregio: è scritto per americaniil difetto: è scritto per americanisecondo me ancor più interessante per un non-credente e mostra come la chiesa abbia in se lati moderni, tolleranti ed al passo con i tempi

The best way I've found so far to enter the Jesuit spirituality! Highly recommended to anyone looking into his or her spirituality.
