Overview
A practical, spiritual guidebook based on the life and teachings of St. Ignatius of Loyola shows readers how to manage relationships, money, work, prayer, and decision making, while keeping a sense of humor about life.
Publishers Description
St. Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556), the founder of the Society of Jesus (aka the Jesuits), was known for his practical spirituality. The "way of Ignatius" has helped millions of people—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" eans that every part of our lives can lead us to God. The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything 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 traditional wisdom that Jesuits use to help other people in their daily lives is easily applied, but not often explained well to the general public. The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) 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. |

 | Worth Reading May 6, 2010 |
| This is a great book and entices one to reflect on how, why and what they believe as far as their religious beliefs are concerned. It is certainly for everyone - not just religious folks. | | | | I'll read this more than once. Once is not enough Apr 27, 2010 |
| I'm reading this in small "bites" and trying to use its wisdom in my daily life. I still need more practice and I'm sure I'll need to read it again. You don't need to be Catholic or even Christian to get great benefits from this book. | | | | Jesuit's Guide Apr 26, 2010 |
| A superb guide to living a really Christian life, by the "official chaplain" of The Colbert Report." Go deep and really live. | | | | The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything: A Spirituality for Real Life Apr 26, 2010 |
This book is essential for anyone who is open to reflecting on his or her own spiritual life.
Rev. James Martin is so basic and practical that you will find it hard to put the book down...you will want to read it all at once. but we should read it reflectively and enjoy Fr. Martin's words of wisdom. | | |  | A Good Place to Begin Apr 26, 2010 |
| The "(almost) everything" in this title refers to the way St. Ignatius Loyola and the Jesuit tradtion approaches the spiritual life. Everything becomes a means to know, experience and understand God and ourselves in relation to God. Father Martin makes few presumptions about his readers' experience and background. He is very basic, explaining and defining terms, and giving personal examples with his characteristic wit. No one will feel left out, while some may find his elementary approach a bit tidious at times. But, there are gems of wisdom and renewal for even the most experienced reader of spiritual material. This is written for everyone interested in the mystery of knowing God. | | | Write your own review about The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything: A Spirituality for Real Life
