This is a brilliant book, and well worth reading, but I think would-be buyers should be aware that it is exactly the same book as "Landmarks" by the same author.

Best Ever Presentation of Ignatian Spirtuality
18 May 2000
Format:Paperback
With all due respect to the many fine Jesuit Fathers I have known in my life, it took a non-Jesuit named Margaret Silf to deliver the finest explanation of Ignatian Spirituality I have ever read. Silf delivers first a touching and thorough biography of Ignatius, then uses it as a backdrop for how he came to understand God. She leads us through the Exercises with genuine faith, terse explanation, and wonderful anecdotes that rate her as a superb spiritual director. Every spriritual person, not to mention Jesuits themselves, would be well advised to own their own copy of this masterpiece. A must read for all!

Recommended reading for truth seekers in search of God.
4 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
In today's often confusing secular society, men and women look for enduring, practical, and insightful spiritual guidance. Margaret Silf's Inner Compass is an introduction and invitation to Ignatian spirituality as practiced and taught by the Jesuits these past four hundred years. St. Ignatius of Loyola taught that paying attention to the deepest desire burning within us will enable us to discover God, and how God has gifted us for our life in the world. Inner Compass presents the magnificent possibility of self-trust. By learning to trust ourselves, we learn to trust God. Inner Compass offers the reader an abundance of practical examples and methods to find true self-knowledge and build just such a trust, thereby discovering a genuine meaning to our lives. Inner Compass is highly recommended reading for students of religion and seekers of a personal spirituality and relationship with God.

A Good Start to Discernment
9 May 2001
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This beautifully written book is a series of personal reflections and imaginative meditations that focus on the "First Week" (i.e., section) of St. Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises, during which retreatants traditionally focus on the workings of sin and grace in their lives. As such it serves as a good, practical introduction to many basic concepts of Ignatian spirituality such as consolation and desolation, detachment, and our deepest desire.
The strengths of the book are its lovely style, the honesty of the author's personal examples, and the creativity and depth of "Suggestions for Prayer and Discussion" that are posed at the end of each chapter. The latter clearly come from a wealth of retreat experience.
In the introduction, Silf modestly writes that her book "is not a way of actually making the Exercises." While that is technically true, many readers may feel they have begun to do so.
