Description
In Abide in the Heart of Christ, Rev. Joe Laramie, S.J., offers accessible wisdom from the foundations of Jesuit spirituality—St. Ignatius Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises—in a ten-day personal retreat that will help you encounter Christ, grow your relationship with him, and shape your heart.
Laramie is your guide through this accessible retreat into the heart of Jesus. Based on a structure and approach he developed as a retreat leader at White House Jesuit Retreat in St. Louis, Laramie introduces you to classic themes of the Christian life, including sin, forgiveness, and creation.
This book also helps you learn how to use key scripture passages to reflect on your own experiences. Each reflection includes teachings from the Spiritual Exercises and offers examples from Laramie’s own life. Reflection questions and activities guide you in further contemplation to help you see what’s in your heart, encounter Christ in your daily life, and live more fully in his love each day.

Featured Reviews
Katie K, Reviewer
When you can’t find the time to go on a retreat, but know that you need a spiritual break from the day to day ins and outs of adulting, this new book might be just what you have been looking for. You need no previous experience with retreats or the Spiritual Exercises in order to be ready for this spa experience for your soul. Father Joe takes what can be an intimidating experience and invites you to come away and spend some time with Jesus. His writing style is accessible and not too deeply theological, which I appreciated. He includes questions to journal, some personal stories, and reminds you who you are in Christ. This is a book that you can do over the course of 10 days or 10 months depending upon your schedule.
