This is a great guide to walking through Ignatius' 4 Week Journey. A lot of time is spent on self-awareness and personal discernment, including a great chapter on understanding the nature of our addictions and what they have to teach us. Each chapter ends with a set of personal exercises that will give you the personal experience of entering into each chapters lessons for yourself.

Excelente libro donde se explica sencillamente la espiritualidad ignaciana. Recomendado para quien desea conocer más sobre los jesuitas y su espiritualidad.

This is one to dip in and out of, depending on seasons. Ignatian spirituality has been important in my journey through, and I keep this to use for retreat times.

I listened to the Audible audio version of this book. In the UK it was released under the title of 'Landmarks'. In most other places it appears as 'Inner Compass'. Margaret Silf provides an accessible and practical introduction to what is known as the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. It is accessible in that it tries to speak in the language of everyday by using examples and anecdotes from people's experiences. It is practical in that it gives suggestions for reflecting on life, for making or discerning decisions, for relationships, for exercises of prayer. It can be read both in full, or by referring to parts pertinent to questions burning for the reader. While stemming from a Catholic source, Silf's book is open to people from differing Christian backgrounds and interfaith audiences.
