The Call to Discernment in Troubled Times: New Perspectives on the Transformative Wisdom of Ignatius of Loyola Paperback – November 1, 2004

I appreciate that my ThriftBooks purchase of this "very good condition" used book is a great deal . They do not over rate the condition of books like other sellers.

I originally bought this book for a class I was taking in Graduate School and then wound up using it again in another class. Dean Brackley is a wonderful writer -- he is thought provoking, realistic, incredibly inciteful and writes in a humble manner. This book is one that I can refer to often not just in my ministry but life as well. Discernment is something that our society does not seem to embrace these days so I am thankful to have a great resource to draw from. Sadly Brackley passed away some time ago, but I am very thankful his writings and ideas are still able to inspire others.

Excellent book. I have made the long retreat twice. He translates Ignatius for our time approaching an interfaith perspective and the securlar contxt of our lives. Clear discussion of rules for discernment. Begins with human experience, sometimes his own, to keep what Ignatius was getting at real, not theoretical. Well written. Leona Sullivan

I was taking a video series and wanted to have the material to advance my knowledge and experience, thank you for having this available.

I purchased this book as a requirement for my Spiritual Direction Class. I enjoyed reading this book and I have learned so much about myself and others around me. This book will be a helpful reference book for my religious library in years to come. I highly recommend this book and look forward to buying more books from this author.

The book is an easy to read commentary (really) on the Exercises of St. Ignatius. While not imposing, there is a definite political prospective.

I knew Dean from his service to the Jesuit volunteer corps and only wish that I could thank him in person for his gentle scholarship and great gift to my prayer life.

Have bought this book several times -- I usually end up giving it away to a friend or student!

An amazing book that has changed my world view and enriched my faith journey.

Was given as a gift can only assume it was Ok as it was asked for .
