Drawing on insights from a wide range of au­thors who write on prayer and the spiritual life, Fr. Malloy shows how the human desire for God unites with our aspirations for a world that reflects God’s peace and justice. He dis­cusses Ignatian tradition and practices, such as the examen and silent retreats, and shows how to integrate prayer and reflection into everyday life.

"Spiritual Direction is a suspension bridge, uniting Ignatian Spirituality and this great longing within us all to find our way. This most helpful book is chock-full of humor and humanity, a huge heart,and a humble invitation into the spiritual life."
