Product Description:
This refurbished edition of Margaret Silf's Inner Compass marks the tenth anniversary of the acclaimed English-language primer on Ignatian spirituality and the Spiritual Exercises. The new edition features a new introduction and personal invitation to the reader, a greatly expanded resource section, and a new design aimed at the next generation of spiritual readers. Silf brings to the book both a laywoman's perspective and a gifted writer's literary skill. The entire work exudes a congenial, practical outlook and a thoroughly modern sensibility. As Silf says, the book 'grew out of questions rather than certainty, discovery rather than doctrine, the experience of everyday living rather than academic study.' All readers seeking to deepen their relationship with God will benefit from Silf's dynamic presentation of Ignatius of Loyola's Spiritual Exercises.

Rating:  - A wonderful spiritual book
A wonderful guide to everyday spiritual life through the prism of Ignatian (Jesuit) thought. Margaret Silf excels at relating deep spiritual themes to everyday experiences.

Rating: - inner compass a winning guide
If you are considering Ignatian spirituality, the Inner Compass is a fine book to add to your library. Based on the Exercises of St. Ignatius, it clears our cluttered lives and points to our True North.

I wanted to like Silf's book, which came highly recommended. It is a helpful mediation experience, but it stops at the first week stage. It also seemed to have a paucity of scripture passages for reflection, in comparison to the real format for the Exercises. I felt ... Read More

Thanks and more power to the Author, Margaret Silf
She is a gifted Author divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit.
I love the book and it is truly a wonderful source of my new beginning and transformation. It makes me understand the true presence of God in my life. It truly gave me a lot of inspiration how to find some directions in my life. The title speaks for itself.
Rating:  - Overrated.
The first couple of chapters are okay, but then she goes into self-analysis and it ceases to be worth reading. I was very disappointed.
