This was recommended by my mother, herself a lover of Jesuit theology, having completed the 19th Annotation (the Ignatian Spiritual exercises) which decidedly changed the course of her spiritual life, and eventually her career.

Martin takes Ignatian theology and boils it down into digestible pieces, which are then fleshed out with very real examples from not only his life, but those of his friends, famous historical/theological figures, and other contemporaries. I love how approachable this is, how un-preachy. It was an enjoyable read and makes the Ignatian teachings accesible to a wide audience.
