10 Weeks to Spiritual Advancement: A Do-It-Yourself Guide to the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises, (Paperback)

For nearly five hundred years, The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola has transformed lives, strengthened souls, and set hearts ablaze with love for God. Saints, priests, and ordinary men and women alike have discovered through this powerful set of Christian prayers and meditations the path to clarity, courage, and holiness in their lives.

This book is not merely an explanation of the great saint's exercises. Fr. Ed Broom gives us a practical and comprehensive playbook for spiritual renewal. You will be guided step-by-step through a daily Holy Hour of Eucharistic Adoration incorporating Lectio Divina and Ignatian contemplation in a clear, structured, deeply personal way. What St. Ignatius once offered to retreatants over weeks, Fr. Broom helps you live steadily and fruitfully in everyday life.

As you pray through salvation history -- from the beauty of creation and the fall of the angels to the reality of sin and the overwhelming mercy of Christ -- you will enter into the Gospel scenes as never before. Jesus' life will unfold vividly before you, from His birth and hidden years through His baptism, Passion, death, and Resurrection, transforming your prayer into an encounter and your Scripture reading into a lived experience.

Along the way, Fr. Broom will form you in the spiritual life and help you to:

• Rekindle a disciplined, joyful prayer life
• Learn to discern God's voice and reject the enemy's lies
• Overcome the obstacles that quietly steal your peace
• Respond generously to Christ's call to follow Him

Additional tools, including examinations of conscience, spiritual planning guidance, and free supplemental resources, will help you build a sustainable rhythm of growth, not just a passing spiritual high.

Here is an invitation to stop drifting and start choosing -- to move from confusion to clarity, and from routine to fire. This essential prayer manual will help you enter the battle for your soul armed with wisdom, imagination, and grace.
