A small jewel, even for non believers

Elegantly direct, this book presents the scaffolding of Jesuit practice and belief. Almost anyone would profit from reading this slim book because Jesuit practice is remarkably nondenominational. Put aside the checkered history and pomp of the church and see modern Jesuit practice anew. I’m here buying a second copy to give an agnostic friend.

More than an introduction

This fine volume brings the reader new to the Ignatian tradition a clear way in and provides the more familiar practitioner valuable thoughts and clear insights flowing from the depth of Father Fleming's experience as director, mentor and writer. A remarkable book.
