Father Aschenbrenner accomplishes a lot in this extraordinary volume. He is able to distill the wisdom of St. Ignatius Loyola for a modern audience. He is then able to take that sense, and give the reader a sense of the overwhelmind relevence and modernity that the Exercises offer the faithful of any age. This book should be terrific for one wondering if the Exercises might be right for them, for those feeling a calling to God, and as a wonderful review for anyone who has experienced the Exercises.
