These two attractive books, from the Irish Jesuits, promote Ignatian spirituality through the practice of daily prayer. The Advent-Christmas material is designed as a spiritual anchor and reassures us of the certainty of faith in a time threatened by widespread global conflict. It includes detailed resources for an Advent retreat. The Companion book, in hardback, is a more substantial resource for the liturgical year from Advent through to Easter and includes further guidance for retreats and many more prayers in the Ignatian tradition. Although written primarily for Catholic congregations, many Anglicans may find these little volumes inspiring and helpful.
