Are you bogged down in your spiritual journey? Does church seem to hinder more than it helps? Here is a welcoming and realistic guide for all who may be feeling spiritually jaded. Whatever your circumstances, Companions of Christ will show you how to embark on a journey of the heart, starting wherever you happen to be and no matter how unfit for the journey you may feel. In Companions of Christ popular British writer Margaret Silf unearths the gold mine of spiritual wisdom to be found in the legacy of Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits. Ignatian spirituality sets out an engagingly down-to-earth vision of connecting with God in everyday life. Neither a recipe for a privatized spiritual life nor an agenda imposed by someone else, the Ignatian vision is centered on companionship, which means literally to "share bread" with another. It latches onto God's presence in stories, in other people, in the created universe, and even in God's apparent absence. Perfect for those whose faith in God or patience with the church is flagging, Companions of Christ contains very practical teaching on great Ignatian themes -- imaginative scriptural meditation, spiritual discernment, and honest prayer. Incorporating helpful spiritual exercises throughout, Silf shows both tentative and seasoned believers how to keep faith despite the odds.

During the twentieth century, many people realized that it is not only our conscious minds which matter, but that we are influenced by a far wider 'unconscious' realm. Many powers, the author explains -- including helpers and tempers -- are involved in this. These powers are aware of what they are doing, even as they are invisible to our eyes. They are known as spiritual powers.Where does this leave human freedom? Surely our free action depends on an idea which we have developed consciously?This book tells of the helpful spiritual powers both in human life and in nature, who support rather than hinder human freedom. To know about their work can bring order into much that may have seemed chaotic and meaningless. Bittleston draws both on ancient traditions which speak of Angels and Archangels and of the great beings up to Cherubim and Seraphim, and on the revelation of the spirit which is breaking through in our time.

I deem Susan as being authentic because she draws information from her experience with Angels rather than from literature, imagination, or hearsay. What scholars and scientists can do is stop quibbling and study the affects Angels have in the lives of people they touch. Peter Roche de Coppens, Ph.D./East Stroudsburg University * * * From one word to the next I was zapped into a new way of thinking about Angels and the need to be a witness to Gods work in our daily lives. Brookshire Lafayette Founder/Host - Lov923FM.com and- LATALKLIVE.com * * * This book is an intimate encounter with Sue and God. At the end of this reading experience you will have a different view of how God tries to speak if we will only listen!
