Far from being annoyed by this, I actually admire the skill that went into such a simple and un-pretentious presentation of the Ignatian practice of Examen — a practice with a somewhat tarnished reputation, very often associated at least in France where I live with guilt-searching in the manner of the 19th century Catholic confession standards.
The book c The authors begin by saying that this is the simplest book they have ever written; well, this is probably the simplest one I have ever read! It introduces in a very gentle way many important for Ignatian spirituality concepts and gives also some practical advice on how to make Examen part of your life.

Over the years, I've returned to the book often. I don't usually read it through.

They seem to find me when I need them.
