Reviews for The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola
87 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Exercises are a major milestone of Christian spirituality, and one of the greatest prayer guides of all time. I wouldn't recommend reading them on your own if you can avoid it, though - the book was meant as a manual to help priests instruct others and isn't really intended to be read as such.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very interesting book - a form of Christian meditation with the focus being on the mercy of God, as well as focusing on aspects of his life and applying the most relevant parts to one's own life. Although I do not necessarily agree with everything the author says, his points about self-analysis and finding goodness still ring true to many non-Catholics.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5These spiritual exercises give the casual reader a close look at the life of a monk. I was impressed with the many activities which connect the worshipper to God.
