BR>What makes the prayer so powerful is its capacity to dispel any notion that God is somewhere "up there," detached from our day-to-day tasks and concerns. Instead, the examen leads us into a relationship with a God who desires to be personally caught up in the lives of those whom he created. --
The book explores the art of discernment, emphasizing its importance in understanding the guidance of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Drawing from the teachings of St. Ignatius Loyola, it highlights how recognizing and interpreting our emotions can lead to making choices aligned with God's will. By delving into our true desires, the text reveals that these longings often reflect God's intentions for us. Ultimately, it serves as a guide to help readers navigate life's decisions by connecting their inner feelings with divine purpose.
PJ Manney concludes her visionary Philip K. Dick Award-nominated series of a world at war, a virtual search for identity, and the future of humanity. Five years ago, bioengineer Peter Bernhardt spearheaded an innovation in nanotechnology that changed the course of evolution. Until everything was taken from him--his research, the people he loved, and finally his life. Uploaded as an artificial intelligence, Peter is alive again thanks to a critical reactivation by fellow AI Carter Potsdam. But a third sentient computer program, Major Tom, is tearing the United States apart, destroying its leaders and its cities. Major Tom's mission: rebuild a new America from the ruins and reign as uncontested monarch. Carter knows that only a revolutionary like Peter can reverse the damage to a country set on fire. Caught in a virtual world between an alleged ally and an enemy, pieces of Peter's former self remain: the need for vengeance, empathy for the subjugated people of a derelict world, and doubt in everything he's been led to believe. To rescue what's left, he'll need to once again advance the notion of evolution and to expand the meaning of being human--by saving humanity.
With Ignatian Spirituality A to Z, Jim Manney has provided a brief, informative, and entertaining guide to key concepts of Ignatian spirituality and essential characters and events in Jesuit history.

Makes a five-hundred-year-old wisdom tradition accessible to contemporary readers seeking daily guidance on life and how to live it How can I find meaning and joy? How can I think clearly? What’s valuable in life, and what’s irrelevant? How do we manage anger? What can we do about envy, laziness, resentment? How do I know what matters most? What do I really want? These are the questions that lie at the heart of Ignatian spirituality, the five-hundred-year-old wisdom tradition that has shown leaders, seekers, and doers the way to live a better life. The daily readings in this book emphasize answers to pressing questions about satisfaction in work and relationships. St. Ignatius and his friends believed that “God is found in all things” and “love is best expressed in deeds rather than words.” The Ignatian way is profoundly practical. It guides us through the great challenge of life — finding God and finding our place in God’s work to save and heal the world.
Filled with wisdom and reflections from favorite Ignatian leaders, An Ignatian Book of Days sees God as actively involved in the world and intimately connected with us in every moment and place.
