Great story and background for those seeking to learn more about St. Ignatius. However, the second half of the book focused on his spirituality and retreat guide was very in depth and a little heavy for someone who is a novice in Jesuit teachings. Would be good for this section to be simplified a bit for those that are eager to learn!
