From his simple upbringing in a mountain village to his years at university, Faber exhibited a mind for learning and a heart for prayer. After doing Ignatius's Spiritual Exercises--an intense retreat for deepening one's commitment to Christ and friendship with God--Faber led others to do the same and soon earned a reputation as the best teacher of the Exercises. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But it was a time of great dissension, as the Church struggled to respond to the challenges of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. Battle lines were drawn--in churches and conversations, at meetings and councils. Along with other Jesuits, Faber sought to help people keep the faith. In exploring Peter Faber's life of conversation, we can learn a powerful and faithful response to dissent, disagreement, and division--for his time and ours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon Sweeney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0829445226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780829445220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Loyola Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/26\/2020","brand":"Jon Sweeney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045469352191,"sku":"9780829445220","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31e8625c-4a6b-4dee-a217-768490948f65.jpg?v=1684978938","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/peter-faber-jon-sweeney-9780829445220","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
