The Discernment of Spirits: An Ignatian Guide for Everyday Living

This book is rooted in the meditation custom known as visualization. Persons using this technique imagine themselves following Jesus in an actual scene from the Gospel. The goal is to bring the life of Jesus fully to life--providing the comfort of Christ's closeness, affecting the emotions, and giving new impetus to renewal of life's purposes. Have you ever longed to walk beside Jesus on the dusty roads of Palestine? Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be in the crowd when Jesus was healing and preaching? These powerful meditations will help you imagine being right there with Jesus. Entering into the world of these meditations will change forever your relationship with Jesus, yourself, and the world around you. Michael Kennedy's proven technique will bring Jesus and the Gospel stories to life in a new way as the text -- and the CD featuring Martin Sheen -- open doors to a reinvigorated life of prayer and contemplation. In quiet meditation, or with family and friends, The Jesus Meditations is a short cut to those quiet, peaceful moments with Jesus that are so hard to come by these days.

A new kind of spiritual classic and a powerful reintroduction to Christianity, this hopeful book by esteemed pastor and teacher Fr. Dean Brackley integrates a realistic analysis of today's social crisis with the deep personal spirituality of St. Ignatius Loyola.

Based on the meditation method of St. Ignatius Loyola, written by beloved East L.A. Pastor, Mike Kennedy, and read on the included CD by Hollywood actor Martin Sheen, this book is an extraordinary invitation to a personal encounter with Jesus. Willi Lambert's exploration of the life and writings of St. Ignatius Loyola yields a fruitful and fascinating model of communication for people of all walks of life.
