really liked it
bookshelves: religion-theology

My first reading foray into Catholic writing were the Spanish mystics and Merton, wonderful but also very... well... mystic. Then there are so many, much more dry books of religious instruction out there that are classics as well. To me this book represented a very good middle ground to that. Straightforward, simple, direct but also very soulful and does not try to delineate some cold, formulaic form of spirituality.

Why did I stall so long to read this?

Tim Byron Nice description - some people say that the Exercises where never meant to be read but to be made. Next step is to 'make' the Exercises - see http://sjsa.wordpress.com/spiritual-e... to get my take on it!
