About the Book:
The Ignatian goal of "finding God in all things” means 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 20 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.
