St. Ignatius of Loyola: In God's Service - by Peggy A. Sklar

Recounts the life of the sixteenth-century Basque former soldier who founded the Society of Jesus - describing how the events in his life led to his religious commitment and the development of the Spiritual Exercises and other elements of the Jesuit way of life. 

Painted in vivid detail are his early days, conversion, pilgrimage and founding of his new religious order. But the author takes this unique biography to a whole new level in focusing then, in the last chapter, on Ignatius' legacy of service and spirituality, as well as examples of activities that the Jesuits are involved in and concrete applications of Ignatian spirituality.

This glimpse into Ignatius' life and spirituality will not only make this saint more accessible to young people, for whom he is an ideal role model, but to adults as well.
