Every stage of life has its own tasks and transformations, its beauty and charm, as well as its own dangers and illnesses. In all of this, human existence – perhaps especially in old age – is a lifelong learning process. Ignatian Impulses, the new publication series from Echter Verlag, is rooted in the spirituality of Ignatius of Loyola, which is being rediscovered by many people today. Ignatian Impulses address current and existential questions as well as controversial topics. Open-minded and concrete, life-affirming and forward-looking, easily readable and personally stimulating, they engage seekers and help them interpret and shape everyday life in a Christian way. Ignatian Impulses are supported by the Jesuit order, founded by Ignatius. Their themes are aligned with what Jesuits today understand as their guiding principles.
