Fr Pedro Arrupe [1907-1991], a Spanish Jesuit, was a missionary in Japan for 27 years before being elected Superior General of the Society of Jesus in 1965.

This book, written in the context of Fr Arrupe’s birth-centenary, is a veritable treasure-chest of Arrupean memorabilia. It contains biographical notes, inspirational quotes, and lively anecdotes. The title is not intended to lure one into possessing “treasure” that will be kept in a library ‘safe’, under lock and key, or adorn a showcase of books. This treasure is for using and sharing. The pages are meant to fan the flames of unconditional love, universal acceptance, equality of races and resources, unflinching courage, sensitive service, and constant compassion... to everyone, everywhere. This treasury is intended to help the readers to enrich their lives and become worthy enough “men/women for [and with] others” in every sense of the phrase that Fr Pedro Arrupe himself coined, after his own example.

All For the Greater Glory Of God develops systematically the motto AMDG of St Ignatius Loyola, and it associated dynamic, the MAGIS (“MORE”). It traces the origins and explores the meanings, implications, influences and applications of AMDG-MAGIS.

All For the Greater Glory Of God is the fruit of the author’s research-reflection process in the Jesuit Jubilee year 2006. It is hoped that this work will in turn refresh and energize various types of readers: Jesuits, non-Jesuit religious congregations that adhere to the spirituality of St Ignatius Loyola, collaborators associated with Jesuit institutions, and those who appreciate the spiritual doctrines of St Ignatius.

This book is an innovative approach to the biography of St Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). The author traces the life of the saint step by step, from his birth to the founding of the religious Order. Each step forms a separate unit with three sections: the first pieces together the historical realities [“retrospective”] in the life of St Ignatius. The next registers the varied events, experiences and personality traits in St Ignatius’ later years that form an integrated link with the previous section [“perspective”]. The third contains ‘reflections’ from varied sources, on relevant themes accruing from the previous sections and related to the Ignatian spirit [“reflective”] that have been influencing the ‘character’ of the Society of Jesus down the ages, since its beginning even to this day, directly or indirectly. This insightful book arouses a fresh outlook on the firebrand soldier-saint.

Profiles in Holiness is a hallowed ‘gallery’ with pen-portraits of exemplary Jesuits from St Ignatius of Loyola the Founder of the Society of Jesus in the sixteenth century to Saint José Rubio who was canonized by Pope John Paul II on 4 May 2003. Each ‘life’ portrays the human striving for perfection, for holiness/wholeness in life through ‘heroic’ or ‘ordinary’ means. Though characterized by the Jesuit charism of endeavouring ‘for the greater glory if God’, the book will inspire non-Jesuits as well, because these mini-biographies of 49 Saints and 147 Blessed display universal “holiness” – the human being empowered by God’s Grace. The book is arranged according to the respective feast-days of the Saints, and “is so structured that it can be used for introductions to liturgical celebrations, as a resource for community prayer, or for spiritual reading and personal reflection.”

Excellent resource materials for display on classroom or community bulletin boards, for discussion purposes or as fillers in magazines.

This book is an updated and thoroughly revised edition of the popular prayer-guide At Home With God. The author has used the latest resources on the Spiritual Exercises available on the Internet, and has given the content a sharper focus. Moreover, much of the previous content has been overhauled. Hence the new title. However the book follows the same structure as its predecessor. It contains hundreds of thought- provoking stories, anecdotes, and poems as well as inspirational quotes from Scripture and other sources in keeping with the theme of the day. It is based on the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius Loyola and is a 'retreat in daily life' manual.

God Here And Now will appeal to all who yearn for God in prayer and are enthusiastic about leading God-centred lives. The inspirational inputs, simple prayer techniques and spiritual exercises will strengthen, intensify and deepen their relationship with God. They will become aware of God’s presence in all things, persons, events and places!

LIVING PASSIONATELY describes life as an “adventure” and pursues that challenge by highlighting the need to “go with the flow”, as also determining when to take the plunge from ones “comfort zone”. To live life passionately, one must develop skills for making “choices that empower” and become a “perpetual learner”, keeping abreast with the times and coping with the advance of psychology, science and technology. In order to internalize the process of “living passionately” the book provides insights on ones self-worth and self-esteem, on the need to blend head and heart, and the practice of compassion. It is hoped, that it will stir up the “passion for life” in the hearts of the readers and contribute in its own way toward the building of a world suffused with love and compassion – both at the personal and universal levels.
