America and the World: Conversations on the Future of American Foreign Policy

Zbigniew Brzezinski, Brent Scowcroft, ...

Basic Books, 2008

Wisdom Abounds--the old models don't work anymore
There is something about this book that compells you to stop reading it for a second and to go to Amazon.com to say "something." I love the format. You feel like you are sitting with Brzezinski, Scowcroft and Ignatius just listening as a child who seemingly should ...

Agents of Innocence

David Ignatius

W. W. Norton & Company, 1997

Even today this is a novel that shows how we should do business abroad.
Having spent time in the Middle East, I found this novel haunting with it's authenticity. I am sure Mr. Ignatius has taken some characters from real life and disguised them a bit. For anyone interested in how an intelligence officer operates in real life, Agents of ...

Dale Ahlquist

Ignatius Press, 2006

A must read. Common Sense is no longer very common.
This book is absolutely remarkable. Although G. K. Chesterton wrote his material almost 100 years ago, his writings are so poignant to anyone living in today's world. Dale Ahlquist informs us of a multitude of very important subjects addressed by Chesterton ...

One of my all-time favorites
I've read this book twice now, and it places in the top 5 books that I've ever read. It guides us through the stages of Spiritual growth as experienced and taught by St. Theresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross. It's the best book I've ever found on the subject. ...

Excellent Study Bible

Everybody lies

Jesus of Nazareth

Joseph Ratzinger

Ignatius Press, 2008

What an unexptected surprise!
I do not usually listen to audio books, but I made an exception when I ordered this one because I have a friend whose sight is fading who could only enjoy the book this way. I have already read (and marked) a copy of the print version, so I ordered an additional audio ...

The Discernment of Spirits: The Ignatian Guide for Everyday Life

Timothy M. Gallagher

The Crossroad Publishing Company, 2005

Opens Up the Spiritual Exercises of Loyola
In years past, I had tried my hand at reading the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola without much to show for it. The exercises are very terse and concise. But with Fr. Gallagher's book, I finally got the practical commentary that opens up the mind and intent ...

Jesus, the Apostles and the Early Church: General Audiences, 15 March 2006-14 February 2007

Pope Benedict XVI

Ignatius Press, 2007

Insightful and heartfelt
Once again, Pope Benedict's talents for brilliant insight and concise communication are made evident in this book. "Jesus, the Apostles and the Early Church" is as profound as it is accessible. Benedict demonstrates, as expected, that he is not only a scholar, but a ...

Saint Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, espoused the ideal of becoming "contemplatives in action."

These five dimensions of the ...

Catholicism and Fundamentalism: The Attack on "Romanism" by "Bible Christians"

Karl Keating

Ignatius Press, 1988

Why didn't I learn this in school?
This book, 2 Baptist preachers, a AKJV Bible and Joseph Smith allowed Jesus to bring me out of a Baptist denomination and home to His visible body on earth, His Catholic Church. You can not deny the truth in this book or the complete 73 Book Bible.
