Book Overview
Its effects are often life changing. But what exactly is it, and why do so many people embrace it? The most influential spiritual movement of the modern age is Ignatian spirituality, an approach to the spiritual life based on the insights of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Ignatian spirituality teaches an active attentiveness to God joined with a prompt responsiveness to God, who is ever active in people's lives.
In What Is Ignatian Spirituality?, David L. Fleming, SJ, provides an authoritative yet highly accessible summary of the key elements of Ignatian spirituality, among which are contemplative prayer, discernment, and dynamic involvement in service and mission. In twenty concise chapters, Fr. Fleming explains how this centuries-old method of disciplined reflection on God's work in the world can deepen our spiritual lives today and guide all the decisions we make.

A small jewel, even for non believers
Published by Charlemagne , 3 years ago
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.
