Product Overview
Finding Christ in the World invites the reader to “let God show you where and how He concretely breaks into your life.” A 12–week prayer experience framed by the Spiritual Exercises, the book is of particular help to faith communities such as Bible study and prayer groups. But individuals can also use it as a means of prayer. The instructions for retreat invite a “conversion of heart from a tight focus on one’s self to a graced focus on God–with–us.” The book includes questions and prompts for reflection (for example, “When I think about God listening to me, I want to tell him…”), and guidelines for reviewing each week of prayer. We have improved the 2017 edition with curl-resistant front and back covers.

5 Workout Book for the Spiritual Exercises
Posted by Steve McCarville on May 28th 2020
A book for working through the spiritual exercises and space for journaling too. It appears to be written for everyone, not just religious but for the person in everyday life. It should be easy to follow along.

5 Finding Christ in the World
Posted by Sr. Joanne Frania on Oct 23rd 2019
I am facilitating a retreat for some people in parish in Toledo OH. While the retreatants are in varied places spiritually, it is clear that the retreat proceeding in a graced way. I really appreciate the introductions of the various themes, the setting for each day along with the grace to be asked for and the Furthermore. It is a great help to the retreatants also to have the Scripture printed in the book for them. The invitations to journaling are very well done as well. This book is very user friendly and is a gifted guide to anyone making the retreat. I have invited a woman with whom I meet monthly to make the retreat even though we will meet only once monthly because of distance. Thank you for providing it.
