He abandoned a promising career in the military and dedicated the rest of his life to the service of Christ and the Church. This book tells of his starting one of the most influential orders in the church, and gives a graphic account of his adventures his many encounters with popes, kings and emperors and the great work the Jesuits did in spreading the Gospel.

5.0 out of 5 stars
"A truly holy experience",
By Brian Vargo (vargojj@prodigy.net) (Salem, Oregon "Saint Joe's School") - See all my reviews
This review is from: Saint Ignatius and the Company of Jesus (Vision Books) (Paperback)
I believe Saint Ignatius of Loyola to be the most faithful servant of God. As a young Christian reader I love to read about saints. August Derleth sure has a way with words! Ignatius was truly a Saint. For me reading this book was like making a friend. I hope you have the same experience I did. "Make a friend".
