In Small Simple Ways: An Ignatian Daybook for Healthy Spiritual Living, author, editor, and retreat leader Vinita Hampton Wright offers her trademark compassion and encouragement to lift readers up and help propel them forward. This book covers 52 weeks (Monday through Sunday) structured into four-week sections focusing on a principle of spiritual growth as taught by St. Ignatius of Loyola, including God in All Things, Spiritual Freedom, Imagination, and Reflection. Each day connects the general focus with a specific aspect or action of healthy spiritual life such as Compassion, Discernment, Generosity, Gratitude, and Integrity.

Through practice and repetition of these basic thoughts and actions that build upon themselves over the course of a year, Small Simple Ways will help you step into your future with good, healthy spiritual habits.

Review Quotes

A lovely devotional that would make a great gift for anyone.-- "Lisa's Everyday Life (blog)" (9/15/2019 12:00:00 AM)

In keeping with the philosophy of St. Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises, that practicing them regularly will help us grow, the author has set out practical ways in which we nurture spiritual habits. I loved how practical the book is and so devoid of high-flown language. The short prayers are simple and meaningful. I'm definitely going to use this book for reflection and growth.--Corinne Rodrigues "Everyday Gyaan" (8/20/2019 12:00:00 AM)
