Great book. I’ve always wanted to do an Ignatian Spiritual retreat but have been rather intimidated. This book is written in a way it can be meaningful and an opportunity for growth each time you read it (and I plan on reading it many more). As an novena it is accessible for a busy lifestyle and I enjoy the way it incorporates history, theology and personal experience.

Some books grab hold of your heart and don't seem to want to let go.

I found that to be the case with Love Him Ever More: A 9-Day Personal Retreat with the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Author Fr. Joe Laramie, SJ, has a winsome way of weaving together personal stories with the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. He also challenges the reader to engage in imaginative prayer experiences with a specific emphasis on the Sacred Heart.

As I prayed my way through the book, I found myself drawing closer to the Sacred Heart--a devotion which is actually close to my own heart.

I believe this book lives up to the author's prayer: "that the Sacred Heart of Jesus may set our hearts on fire."

I received an ARC of, Love Him Ever More, by Fr. Joe Laramie, SJ. This is a really great read, a retreat to do on your time, using the Ignatius way. Their are prayers and meditation, and stories.
