St Ignatius of Loyola, the 16th-century founder of the Jesuits, left behind him a living tradition of prayer in his "Spiritual Exercises". Over the centuries these have been enormously influential - today there is more interest than ever in Ignatian spirituality, among ordinary people, as well as religious professionals and across all the Christian denomiations. This book interprets the ideas of St Ignatius for the present day, and combines practical advice on how to set about praying with an understanding of the deep mystery of prayer - prayer which can lead people, not to leave the world behind, but to make full use of all God-given opportunities. Margaret Hebblethwaite is the author of "Basic is Beautiful".
