What's Your Decision?: How to Make Choices with Confidence and Clarity: How to Make Choices with Con

Do I go to graduate school? Whom should I marry? Should I change careers? What do I do with my life now that I'm retired? All of us have important decisions to make decisions that radically alter our lives. Yet, without a sound process in place for making key decisions, we are likely to question whether or not our final decision was a good decision. More to the point, we will never feel fully confident that our decision was what God truly desired for us. What's Your Decision? presents a time-tested, trustworthy approach to decision making based on the insights of Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits and the author of The Spiritual Exercises, one of history's most influential spiritual texts. Throughout this fast-moving and highly practical audiobook, the authors present an Ignatian toolkit for making sound choices, providing answers to many common questions like: - What's important and what's not when it comes to making choices? - Do I trust my gut? - What do I really want? Ultimately, What's Your Decision? helps us understand that a God decision always precedes a good decision. When we invite God, who cares deeply about what we do into the decision-making process, we find the freedom to make the best choice. ©2010 J. Michael Sparough, Tim Hipskind, and Loyola Press.

A Simple, Life-Changing Prayer: Discovering the Power of St. Ignatius Loyola's Examen

For most people, most of the time prayer is hard. It is especially difficult—not to mention unsatisfying—when people experience it as formal, dry, and repetitious. But what might happen if you discovered a simple prayer that changed all that? What if you discovered a prayer that changed you? In A Simple, Life-Changing Prayer, Jim Manney introduces Christians to a 500-year-old form of prayer that dramatically altered his perception of prayer and the way he prayed. The prayer is The Examen, which St. Ignatius Loyola developed for the purpose of nurturing a reflective habit of mind that is constantly attuned to God’s presence. What makes the prayer so powerful is its capacity to dispel any notion that God is somewhere “up there” detached from our day-to-day tasks and concerns. Instead, The Examen leads us into a relationship with a god who desires to be personally caught up in the lives of those whom he created. By following five simple yet powerful steps for praying The Examen, we can encounter the god who, as scripture tells us, “is not far from each one of us”—the god whose presence in our lives can make all the difference in the world.
