“User-friendly...The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything…helpfully unpacks core precepts like ‘finding God in all things.’” —Time

The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything by Father James Martin, SJ (bestselling author of Jesus and Learning to Pray) is a practical spiritual guidebook that shows you how to manage relationships, money, work, prayer, and decision-making, all while keeping a sense of humor.

Inspired by the life and teachings of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, this book will help you realize the Ignatian goal of “finding God in all things.” Filled with relatable examples, humorous stories, and anecdotes from the heroic and inspiring lives of Jesuit saints and average priests and brothers, this book will enrich your everyday life with spiritual guidance and history.

Martin explores answers to commonly asked questions such as:

• How do I know what I’m supposed to do in life?
• How can I be happy?
• How can I find God
• How do I love?
• How do I know who I’m supposed to be?

Booklist said, “Martin has a way of popularizing serious religious issues without trivializing their impact and significance.”

The Jesuit Guide to Almost Everything is sure to appeal to fans of Kathleen Norris, Richard Rohr, Anne Lamott, and other Christian Spiritual writers.

Spiritual

Enjoyed reading this book. Praying chapter informative heavy on the eyelids. James Martin is a down to earth author.

Well done!

Jim Martin has a simple and folksy way of describing the core of Ignatian spirituality, addressed to the non-academic seeker, without losing anything essential in the translation. Bravo!

Listened twice

So many good lessons here that I had to listen twice. A good guide and extremely reassuring.

My Favorite Book by My Favorite Author

Would you listen to The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything again? Why?

Absolutely. It is so centering to hear Fr. Jim read this wonderful book. I use it before sleep, in the car, while working on other projects. It helps me practice Ignatian Spirituality daily.

What did you like best about this story?

Every section is helpful in it's own way, but what I find myself returning to again and again, are the sections on poverty, chastity and obedience. That doesn't sound glamorous on the surface, but revisiting these values in a new form is so liberating.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Oh, yes.... but you can't. It must be savored, a little at a time!

Any additional comments?

This book will change your life!
