St. Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556), the founder of the Society
of Jesus (aka the Jesuits), was known for his practical
spirituality. The "way of Ignatius" has helped millions of
people—from the doubtful seeker to the devout believer—find
freedom, make friends, live simply, work sensibly, fall in
love, experience joy, and enter into a relationship with
God.
The Ignatian goal of "finding God in all things" eans that
every part of our lives can lead us to God. The Jesuit
Guide to (Almost) Everything shows us how this is possible,
with user-friendly examples, humorous stories and anecdotes
from the heroic and inspiring lives of Jesuit saints and
average priests and brothers, as well as examples from
Martin's twenty years as a Jesuit. The traditional wisdom
that Jesuits use to help other people in their daily lives
is easily applied, but not often explained well to the
general public. The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything
translates these insights of St. Ignatius for a modern
audience and reveals how we can find God—and how God can
find us—in the real world of work, love, suffering,
decisions, prayer, and friendship.
