The Jesuit Guide to Everything

A Spirituality for Real Life

2010

by James Martin

The Jesuit Guide to Everything offers a practical spirituality for real life, inspired by the teachings of St. Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556), the founder of the Society of Jesus (aka the Jesuits). Known for his practical spirituality, the "way of Ignatius" has helped millions—from the doubtful seeker to the devout believer—find freedom, make friends, live simply, work sensibly, fall in love, experience joy, and enter into a relationship with God.

The Ignatian goal of "finding God in all things" means that every part of our lives can lead us to God. This book shows us how this is possible, with user-friendly examples, humorous stories, and anecdotes from the heroic and inspiring lives of Jesuit saints and average priests and brothers, as well as examples from Martin's twenty years as a Jesuit.

The Jesuit Guide to Everything translates these insights of St. Ignatius for a modern audience and reveals how we can find God—and how God can find us—in the real world of work, love, suffering, decisions, prayer, and friendship.

Review by sunbreak
An absolutely wonderful book! The only thing I would change is the repetitive description of Jesuit characteristics. I think if I didn't already know about the order, this might turn me off a bit.
Likeless so far. Lead the way
