This introduction--a mere sampling of the men and women influenced by Ignatius--draws on the stories and writings of nineteen exemplary individuals as well as the corporate voice of the Jesuit order. Here we meet missionaries, scholars, artists, advocates, and martyrs. Contemplatives in action, they follow Christ by serving others. They embody the freedom born of a passionate knowledge of God's unending, unconditional love; precisely in this, they show us how to live well today. Ignatius of Loyola and his first companions inspired many religious orders and lay movements across the globe guided by a passion to find God in all things. This introduction draws on the stories and writings of nineteen exmplary individuals as well as the corporate voice of the Jesuit order.
