This Vision book for youth 9 - 15 years old tells the exciting, dramatic story of St. Ignatius of Loyola and the order he founded, the Society of Jesus. As a young man, Ignatius had dreams of an adventurous life as a soldier. His dreams, however, did not come true the way he had hoped.
Seriously wounded in battle, the soldier Ignatius had a profound conversion to Christ during his period of healing and recovery. 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. Illustrated

Saint Ignatius and the Company of Jesus Reviews
-
A good introductory bio, not too long or detailed. Perfect for the middle school and up age, or the busy adult.
-
I had to read this for school which I wasn't looking forward to, but in the end it turned out to be a pretty good book. Especially since I don't read much non fiction
-
I was glad to learn more about the context of the Spiritual Exercises.
