by St. Ignatius Loyola, Father Louis Gonzalez, S.J. (Compiler), Father J. F. X. O'Conor, S. J. (Editor), David Ward (Editor)

Overview

On March 13, 2013, for the first time, a member of the Society of Jesus--the Jesuits--was chosen by the College of Cardinals to be pope. As a Jesuit, Pope Francis draws upon the rich spiritual heritage of the order founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556). In his autobiography, St. Ignatius provides an account of his conversion from a glory-seeking soldier to his founding of an army of men dedicated to the pope and the Church. Through the account of his spiritual journey, St. Ignatius shares insights into his own life and why the Jesuits have had such a profound impact upon the Church and world history. The complete text formatted for reading as an eBook is accompanied by all of the original artwork.
