Description:

Paul Coutinho, SJ, is an internationally recognized Ignatian scholar, author, and retreat leader who brings an Eastern flavor to Western spirituality. A Jesuit priest and a native of India, he is known for his warm sense of humor, his gift for story-telling, and a penchant for asking deeply thought-provoking spiritual questions. Listen in as he shares with genuine heart how his Eastern upbringing influenced his Catholicism--his experiences growing up in a Catholic ghetto in India, his introduction to other faith traditions their enrichment of his own Catholic faith, and how the courage to experience life and ask the right questions drew him deeper and deeper into relationship with God. Coutinho is the author of the award-winning book, How Big Is Your God? The Freedom to Experience the Divine.
