O'Malley gives us the most comprehensive account ever written of the Society of Jesus in its founding years, one that heightens and transforms our understanding of the Jesuits in history and today.

If you think you know Bible history, you could be stunned by many findings in this book.

Theirs was a union built not on solid ground but on the shifting sands of childhood trauma, promiscuity, addiction, and a hunger that neither of them could satisfy.

God instructed me to write during my Sabbath days. To journal and share what he shares with me about his rest and other things. Each of the 26 parts in this book are written in three chapters: the Parable, the Plain and Simple, and the Revelations. The “Parable” chapter is the “milk,”the most basic, the story given to me by the Holy Spirit for that Sabbath’s part. “The Plain and the Simple” is the “plant” of the Sabbath’s part, the simple and plainly written words—and “The Revelations” are the writings of the revelations of the Holy Spirit. Each part contains “Milk,” “Plant,” and “Meat.”
