Review Quotes: When I first read Seeing with the Heart: A Guide to Navigating Life's Adventures, I was deeply consoled to read the distilled wisdom of a master teacher in Ignatian spirituality with a fresh voice. I was not surprised to learn that this book is, in large part, the fruit of many years of teaching about Ignatian spirituality to undergraduates at St. Joseph's University and Georgetown. Fr. Kevin O'Brien deftly weaves together stories from his life and family, his Jesuit formation, and his extensive pastoral experience--along with the wisdom of Pope Francis and other spiritual guides--to illuminate the essence of Ignatian spirituality. I highly recommend this book to anyone who desires to grow in their relationship with God with the help of Ignatian spirituality. -- Very Rev.
