s your spiritual journey more like a trudge? Does the Church hinder more than it helps? Here is a warm, welcoming and realistic guide from an immensely popular author for all who may be feeling spiritually jaded.
Whatever our circumstances, Companions of Christ shows us how to embark on a journey of the heart, starting wherever we happen to be and however fit or unfit for the journey we may feel.
Our guide is what Margaret Silf describes as 'a goldmine of spiritual wisdom', the legacy of Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits. Ignatian spirituality sets out an engagingly down to earth vision of connecting with God in everyday life. It is about exploring God and God's ways for yourself, discovering what it all means for you, and reflecting how you might respond to the call of Christ in your own life. It is not about conforming to someone else's way, nor is it a recipe for a privatized spiritual life. Companionship, which literally means 'to share bread', is central to Ignatian spirituality - the treasure we discover is for sharing with each other and with the world.
With the help of practical spiritual exercises throughout, Margaret Silf shows
us how to keep faith despite the odds. This can be a major breakthrough for beginners and seasoned Christians alike.
