Book Description
Putting on the Heart of Christ by Gerald M. Fagin, SJ, offers a fresh look at the Spiritual Exercises through the lens of virtue ethics. In doing so, the book encourages us to become the kind of person whose very life is in tune with the heart of Christ. Fr. Fagin covers 15 virtues throughout the book, including gratitude, reverence, and forgiveness. Each is explained within the context of the Spiritual Exercises and the life of St. Ignatius, as well as within the context of Scripture. Ultimately, Fr. Fagin uses virtue ethics along with the Spiritual Exercises to help us think beyond. What has God called me and to think quite specifically in terms of Who has God called me to be.

Book Description
The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius are well known as a foundation of prayer & a keystone of spirituality in the Christian tradition. This new translation, with its introduction & commentary, is a manual for making, directing, or studying those Exercises. Its author is the internationally renowned translator of St. Ignatius's CONSTITUTIONS OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS. This translation of the EXERCISES aims to express Ignatius's ideas & nuances altogether accurately, while at the same time adjusting his sometimes difficult Spanish text to the thought & speech patterns of English-speaking readers. It is sensitive to the requirements of gender-inclusive language. It also presents the EXERCISES with the recent division into internationally agreed-upon verse numbers. Hence it can be used with the electronic edition or data base of all of Ignatius's works expected to be published by the Institute of Jesuit sources in 1993. George E. Ganss, S.J., founder & for many years Director of the Institute of Jesuit Sources, is a linguist & theologian who is widely known for his work on the thought & writings of Saint Ignatius & the early members of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits).

Book Description
Many books written about the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola are about doing, and, as a result, they can easily be perceived as checklists of things to accomplish in order to get the greatest benefit from the Exercises. By contrast, An Ignatian Pathway was written specifically to help readers enter into an experience with the Divine, an approach that amplifies the easily overlooked mystical dimension of Ignatian spirituality. In An Ignatian Pathway, Paul Coutinho, SJ, has collected more than 100 excerpts culled from all four weeks of the Spiritual Exercises, the Autobiography of St. Ignatius Loyola, and especially his Spiritual Journal. Each entry is followed by a short meditation written by Fr. Coutinho. As a companion to the Spiritual Exercises, An Ignatian Pathway is an ideal resource for anyone who wants to experience and deepen the mystical and transforming graces in the Exercises, as well as for any “student” of Ignatian spirituality who desires a fuller and richer experience with God.
