The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything: A Spirituality for Real Life by James Martin

5.0

James Martin has an extremely accessible style of writing which makes what could easily be dry subject matter engaging and entertaining to read. I felt like I was receiving guidance by a kindly peer well versed in the history of the Society of Jesus while reading this book. Though the book is certainly about God, I think ANYONE of any religious or spiritual ( or none whatsoever) could apply the advice and guidance given in this book- specifically "the examen", the idea of living simply, and the importance of a vocation in life which transcends our traditional understanding of just being paid work . I look forward to reading more of his writing, which is extensive.
