Making Choices in Christ : The Foundations of Ignatian Spirituality

         By Joseph A Tetlow

In Making Choices in Christ, Joseph A. Tetlow, SJ, reveals how the ordinary person in modern times can embrace Ignatian spirituality through the extraordinary theology of St. Ignatius of Loyola and the Jesuits. In the process, Tetlow explains, the individual deepens and enriches his or her relationship with God.

Written in a warm and wise fashion, this book contains forty concise meditations exploring what Ignatian spirituality is and isn't; what it means to live by it; Ignatius's legacy to all who practice Ignatian spirituality; and its important concepts and experiences, most notably the Spiritual Exercises. This field guide to living Ignatian spirituality is an ideal resource to be used before or during a retreat with the Exercises, but it is also designed for the layperson who is curious about the Jesuit mystique.
