Letting God Come Close

An Approach to the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

An approach to the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius As more and more people begin to reclaim their spiritual heritage, long-overlooked traditions resurface, offering seekers new ways to rekindle their spiritual selves. The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola is such a tradition, and its recovery in the church has sparked the interest of many believers--religious and laypeople alike. In the light of this resurgence, Fr. William A. Barry, a director of the Spiritual Exercises for more than thirty years, offers Letting God Come Close, a guide that shows spiritual directors how to effectively and creatively help individuals meet the living God through the Exercises. Using clear, down-to-earth examples from his own experience, Fr. Barry hopes to instill in the director the trust, confidence, and skills needed to help retreatants approach God.
