“The most important question in the spiritual life,” said Thomas Merton, “is not: ‘Are you happy?’ but ‘Are you free?'” This book works in a fresh way with the four major themes of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola casting them as four steps to Spiritual Freedom: * Know Who You Are * Live Your Calling to the Full * Let Go of Results * Daily Rededicate Your Life to God Describing spiritual freedom as the ability to think and act without external or internal compulsions, the author makes clear through a variety of intimate stories and illustrations from his own and others lives what each step looks like when it is lived in concrete terms. For anyone on a spiritual path in the midst of daily life and work, Four Steps offers carefully delineated guideposts along the way.
