Praise
O’Leary has given us a fresh look at Ignatius and his testament to God’s working in his life such that we are more willing to embark on this exploration ourselves.
Brian O’Leary conceived his book as a journey to discover the ‘landscape’ of Ignatian spirituality—its origin in Ignatius’ experience and context and its current experience in a very different context. The ‘landscape’ most readers think familiar, in this writer’s hands, turns out to be full of rich surprises. God Ever Greater is a book to hold on to.
There is much to like about this book. O'Leary knows his subject matter and writes for a broad audience. His insights into the life and times of Ignatius help the author to present an honest appraisal of one of the greatest saints of all time.
An introductory text that is both accessible and nuanced. It is evident that the author makes this contribution from the stance of an authentic, lived spirituality steeped in Ignatian spirituality.
