Margaret Blackie, Rooted in Love: Integrating Ignatian Spirituality into Daily Life

This book is a blend of the principles of Ignatian spirituality and life experience. Tracking through desire, discernment, prayer and grace Margaret Blackie offerssome pointers on living a life of faith. In the author’s words: ‘What I most love and value in Ignatian spirituality is that it is a spirituality which teaches us to deal with desire…Ignatius was not afraid of the chaos of daily life. Rather he was utterly convinced that God is present in all of it. If we can just bring ourselves to pause for long enough to notice, we will not be able to miss God’s presence in our lives.’
