by Joseph A. Tetlow
I ordered this book off of amazon after seeing it advertised in a few of Fr. Timothy Gallagher's books on Ignatian Spirituality ("Discernment of Spirits").
I've finished so far the first two parts and am pretty impressed. Part I gives a wonderful biography of St. Ignatius and the formation of the Jesuits and the events in his life which influenced and informed his spirituality, particularly the writing of the Spiritual Exercises.
Subsequent parts go through the Four Weeks of the Exercises, summarizing and offering insights into the hours of prayer. This would be a good introduction to the Exercises for someone who has never made them, a good companion for someone who is currently making them (either on the 30 day retreat or the home retreat), and a good review for someone who has already made them.
