Sinossi

In "The Autobiography of St. Ignatius," one of the most significant spiritual autobiographies in Christian literature, Ignatius of Loyola recounts his remarkable journey from a soldier's life to that of a saintly founder of the Society of Jesus. Written in a reflective style, the text blends personal narrative with profound spiritual insights, marking it as a pivotal work of the Ignatian tradition. Engaging with themes of discernment, conversion, and divine grace, the autobiography acts as both a historical document and a guide for spiritual introspection amidst the broader context of the Counter-Reformation. Saint Ignatius, born in 1491, was a Basque nobleman whose initial pursuits in warfare were radically transformed after a severe injury led him to a profound spiritual awakening. His later experiences in prayer and reflection inspired the formation of the Jesuit order and the development of the Spiritual Exercises, which deeply influence Catholic spirituality. His keen understanding of human psychology and spirituality is reflected in his candid and introspective writing style, revealing insights into his inner struggles and triumphs. This profound account is highly recommended for readers interested in spiritual growth, Jesuit history, or the nature of personal transformation. "The Autobiography of St. Ignatius" not only offers a glimpse into the life of a revered saint but also invites readers to embark on their own journey of self-discovery and faith.

Not a Tame Lion - The Life...

Terry Glaspey

Finalist for the best biography of the year with Christian Book Awards.The life, thought, and legacy of C. S. Lewis—a Prophet for our TimesOne of the most brilliant minds of the twentieth century, C. S. Lewis bridged literature, philosophy, and religion. He taught at Oxford and Cambridge, all the while communicating in a clear, winsome manner that ordinary men and women could comprehend. He gave us masterpieces like The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain,and still more. In this fascinating biographical study Not a Tame Lion, author Terry Glaspey points out that Lewis’ life was as compelling as his work. Glaspey gives readers a glimpse of the character of this extraordinarily gifted man—who believed that his sharp mind and rich imagination were to be accompanied by a sense of responsibility to the wider world. If Lewis were alive today, he would see the fruition of trends he warned against many years ago. His continued relevance is based on his understanding of the human predicament—a predicament that is intellectual and moral, as well as spiritual. Lewis points the way out of this predicament, but it’s not an easy way. It requires submission to God's authority, moral discipline, and integrity of action. Lewis shows how our lives can be lived in light of eternity and can demonstrate the hope that endures, even in these shadowlands.

I've taken the brave step to share my life with you in an unrestrained, unfiltered manner. The story is real and raw. It  provides an uncensored deep dive into my world of heartache, grief and mental health. It also encourages you to change the narrative of these subjects.

With every life struggle, I've tried to overcome and deal with it with sheer courage and a roar of resilliance. However, there comes a point in life when you can't take any more. For me, that moment arrived in 2019. How do we face the unfairness life brings us? How do we carry on when we have no choice?
