Saint Ignatius Loyola by Francis Thompson. When Francis Thompson was commissioned to write this book, he was already famous, but he out did himself with this great life of Saint Ignatius. He brought to this biography the sympathy of genius with genius. Thompson's extensive and thorough research and the writing of this book helped him become a lover of the Saint, and of that sanctity which he commonly spoke of as "genius in religion." This is a story of a great revival, of fruitful conversion and carries a strong invitation to our own languishing day. What the writing of the life of Saint Ignatius Loyola did for its author, the close study of it may do for his reader. Over 100 illustrations, 60lb cream paper, 334 pages, gold embossed hardcover. |
