Lent book recommendation

The Way of Ignatius. A Prayer Journey through Lent

Sr Gemma Simmonds CJ, SPCK 2018.  

​

An introduction to Ignatian spirituality and prayer, drawing on the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises and their approach to fostering a deep and lasting relationship of intimacy with God. Ideal as a way of engaging with Lent by way of  doing some spiritual spring cleaning, sweeping down cobwebs in the form of old, tired images of God and ourselves, that no longer serve us well. The book is very accessible, ideal for personal reading and prayer, with questions for reflection at the end of each chapter. Several homes groups are using the book in Lent – please contact the clergy, if you are interested in joining a group.
