Added: 5 years ago

Categories: Youth
Description:

Do you know God or do you just know about God? Is God an idea to you or is God a reality, a relationship, an experience? Internationally-recognized Ignatian speaker, retreat leader, and author, Paul Coutinho, SJ, challenges us to rethink our limited ideas of God and to truly experience the Divine in all its wondrous and infinite possibilities. A Jesuit and a native of India, Coutinho has spent decades bringing an Eastern perspective to Western spirituality, with a warm sense of humor and talent for telling just the right story. Through his trademark parables, personal anecdotes, and insights, he invites helps us to ask this important question---how big is our God?---to lead to us to embrace a God whose love truly knows no bounds.

International Ignatian speaker, retreat leader, and Jesuit author, Paul Coutinho, SJ, challenges us to rethink our limited ideas of God and to truly experience the Divine in all its wondrous and infinite possibilities. In his award-winning HOW BIG IS YOUR GOD? Fr. Coutinho invites us to grow stronger and deeper in our faith and meet a God whose love knows no bounds. To help us on our way, Coutinho introduces us to his Hindu friends who put him on the path to mysticism; to his Buddhist teachers who broke open his limited views of the divine; to Viktor Frankl, Desmond Tutu, and other enlightened guides who led him to a far more meaningful spiritual life and relationship with God; and to St. Ignatius of Loyola, whose Spiritual Exercises continue to shape his reflection and prayer life.

Practical and experience-based, it offers a path to greater self-knowledge and spiritual awareness by being attentive to the deepest desires of our hearts–which is God's will already implanted in us. Margaret Silf brings to the book both a laywoman’s perspective and a gifted writer’s literary skill. “INNER COMPASS is an extraordinary achievement in spiritual and wisdom literature.”—Joseph A. Tetlow, SJ

Huston, with her spiritual hunger and gift for unflinching self-reflection , examines a variety of spiritual practices in the Christian tradition that point the way to the practical, day-to-day simple life that so many desire.

It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.
Mother Teresa
