His writing reveals many facets of the warm personality of this influential saint..
The Autobiography tells of his mystical illuminations and gifts, and the Spiritual Diary lets us peer deeply into his heart in his most intimate dealings with God.
In his Exercises we find a synthesis of his chief Spiritual principles, and in his Constitutions an example of his organizational ability.
The General Introduction is an intellectual and Spiritual biography that sketches the fascinating steps by which, largely through mystical favors from God, Ignatius reached his inspiring worldview, with everything in it ordered to the greater glory of God.
Ample explanations are given in the introductions and commentaries by way of notes.
It also offers ten samples of his almost 7,000 letters.
