A review book from Loyola Press that I received some time ago. I've been interested in Ignatian Spirituality for a while and this has a more general take so far than some books I've read. However, that is not a negative thing. Silf's overview is highly interesting and makes a lot of sense.

This is a great introduction to the profound insights of St. Ignatius of Loyola's "Spiritual Exercises." Margaret Silf is an amazing story teller and creative writer. She introduces the reader to the life story of St. Ignatius and how it gave rise to the exercises. The majority of the book reflects on the First Week of the exercises which center on learning to discern the inner movements of our hearts. Only when we reach the very end does she introduce the Second, Third, and Fourth Wee...more

This was really my first introduction to Ignatian spirituality and I thought that Ms Silf was a fine guide. I found her discussion of the daily examen to be wonderfully helpful and I thought that she had a real gift for creating a helpful image to illustrate her teaching.

This book is slowly helping me to reflect on my past, understand my present emotions and difficulties, thank God for the incredible blessings He has given me, and seek the peace and wisdom I need to determine my future. I would definitely recommend it for any Christian who is searching for inner peace about their life journey.
I thought this was a new book but it's published as Landmarks in the UK, so it wasn't new to me. I know that the Ignatian approach involves a lot of metaphor and imagination but I found terms like 'Godseed' and 'Godplant' just a bit weird. (And google 'sonseed jesus is my friend' on youtube to see one reason why). But that's just me. Don't let that stop you reading it.
Highly readable exploration of Ignatian spirituality, with a variety of reflection activities to allow for individual contemplation of self and God
SO very practical. Wonderful.
A practical guide to being attentive to the inner movements of the soul as it relates to how we can choose well in life.
