I've noted that his contemporaries--the people who actually were with him and worked alongside him--all seemed to love him and to enjoy being with him. It would be a good reset button for someone too familiar with Ignatian spirituality, and a gentle introduction for someone totally unfamiliar with it or intimidated by it.

Utilizing the imagination process of interactions with St Ignatius as part of spiritual exercises is a powerful practice. But reading about an imaginative engagement with St Ignatius just did not hit a home run with me.

Rachel finally faces her troubling situation, and Lopez gently guides her through the process of discernment to make a difficult, but inspired, life choice.

In a series of fictional encounters between her narrator, Rachel, and the Jesuit founder never mind the initial premise, which is a bit awkward , the writer introduces readers to the biography of a Christian mystic whose writings and methods continue to have an outsize influence on contemporary Christian spiritual practices.
Using accessible language and inviting vignettes, she also explores topics that include praying with the Scriptures, the use of the imagination, and suggestions for how to follow in the footsteps of Christ.

What do we have in common with a man from the sixteenth century--or even more so, a saint from the sixteenth century? In Just Call Me Lopez, a twenty-first-century woman, Rachel, meets the man who becomes the saint, and both are transformed by their unlikely friendship and series of thought-provoking conversations.
While Rachel keeps mostly silent about her personal struggles, she observes and is astounded by Lopez's metamorphosis from mess to mystic.
