Spiritual directors will benefit greatly from Letting God Come Close by William A. Barry, SJ, a spiritual director for more than 30 years. Fr. Barry's approach to directing the Spiritual Exercises is imaginative and innovative, yet faithful to the intent of Ignatius of Loyola. Using clear, down-to-earth examples from his own experiences, Barry instills in spiritual directors the trust, confidence, and skills they need to help retreatants get close to God through the Spiritual Exercises.

"For over thirty years Barry has listened attentively for the ways God deals directly with God's people through the Spiritual Exercises. God's voice comes through and Barry helps directors pay attention. His book is well worth reading and reflecting on for new and experienced directors as well as for students of the exercises."
