The next book in the desert island bookshelf series must be Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises.

Continuing with my desert island bookshelf series, the next book has to do with exercise. New year, new you. And the new year must mean a new spiritual life.

The loneliness of the desert island makes me think of the grace of a long silent retreat. And the masterwork of this soulful fitness regime must be Ignatius of Loyola's Spiritual Exercises.

My favorite translation was delivered to me by a trusted Jesuit. The Louis J. Puhl translation is traditional, accurate, and securely delivered.

Your spirit is not yet what it ought to be. Try following the holy guide, Ignatius, so that you can dedicate your desert island experience to an intimate following of the Lord.

Colloquy bliss awaits.
