The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola is such a tradition, and its recovery in the church has sparked the interest of many believers--religious and laypeople alike.\u003cbr\u003eIn light of this resurgence, Fr. William A. Barry, a director of the Spiritual Exercises for more than thirty years, offers \u003ci\u003eLetting God Come Close\u003c\/i\u003e, a guide that shows spiritual directors how to effectively and creatively help individuals meet the living God through the Exercises. Using clear, down-to-earth examples from his own experience, Fr. Barry hopes to instill in the director the trust, confidence, and skills needed to help retreatants approach God. \"Spiritual directors will find a gold mine here of help in understanding and giving the Exercises.\"\u003cbr\u003e--George Aschenbrenner, S.J., director, Jesuit Center for Spiritual Growth \"For over thirty years Barry has listened attentively for the ways God deals directly with God's people through the Spiritual Exercises.
