Description



About the Book



This is a captivating illustrated children's book that chronicles the extraordinary transformation of Ignatius of Loyola from self-involved nobleman to a saint dedicated to serving God and others.



Book Synopsis



​Battle of Pamplona, May 20th, 1521

Ignatius of Loyola, a valiant soldier, is struck by a cannonball and gravely wounded. His military career is finished. Ignatius responds to this misfortune by listening for and responding to God's call. Follow him through his conversion, the development of the Spiritual Exercises, and the growth of the Society of Jesus. This playful rendition of the biography of St. Ignatius invites readers to encounter Ignatian spirituality and the wisdom of a Catholic spiritual master.



Review Quotes




"Audacious Ignatius tells the story of Ignatius using bold vocabulary, playful rhyme, and inspiring depth! It is a resource I will of course use as a parent, but also on retreats and in training spiritual directors to creatively and playfully tell the story of St. Ignatius of Loyola and teach the dynamics and graces of the Spiritual Exercises. The wisdom captured in the format of the children's book is breath-taking!" --Becky Eldredge, spiritual director and author of Busy Lives & Restless and The Inner Chapel

​"A lovely children's book." -- James Martin, SJ, author of My Life with the Saints

"This beautiful and clever book makes you want to live with holy boldness." -- Fr. Michael Rossmann, SJ, author of The Freedom of Missing Out
