Darton, Longman & Todd Ltd Landmarks : An Ignatian Journey

Landmarks help us to find ourselves when we think we are lost.When we don't know where to begin, they give us a starting point.When we think we know where we are, they give us the confidence to keep going. And if we think we have arrived, they remind us that there is always something more, somewhere beyond ... This is a book of Landmarks for the heart's journey.Written out of the author's own prayer and lived experience, and inspired by her practical explorations of the insights of St Ignatius Loyola, it opens up questions which concern us all:- How can we recognise God's ceaseless action in our lives and begin to discern his will?- What does 'fallenness' mean for us today?- How can we live true to ourselves and make decisions in freedom?- How do we penetrate our deepest desires and become free of the lesser attachments that obstruct them?Big questions - but as Margaret Silf shows, there are clues to be discovered in every moment and situation: at home, at work, in the garden, in the market, in the bath!Landmarks will help us discover and deepen our individual journeys.Written for both groups and individuals, it is illustrated with drawings and diagrams, and contains exercises and suggestions for prayer and reflection.Be warned, however. Landmarks are not for armchair pilgrims. They are for People of the Way.
