The Spiritual Exercises by St. Ignatius Loyola ~ Full Audiobook [religion]

The Spiritual Exercises by St. Ignatius Loyola audiobook.

Genre: religion

These are the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, a plan of contemplation to be carried out over about a month. St. Ignatius of Loyola (1419-1556) was the founder of the Jesuits, and was canonized by Pope Gregory XV in 1622. He published the Spiritual Exercises in 1548. The Exercises were intended for use by someone who would be conducting a retreat and are a series of notes on methods and things to cover. As such they read more like a manual and overview than a devotional book that one can look to for edification. They presume the person conducting the retreat or the exercises has already been through them. They are a central part of the first year training of Jesuit novitiates. However, one does not have to be a Jesuit-in-training to take advantage of the Exercises: Increasingly, lay people and even non-Catholics follow this path (1491 - 1556)

Conjuror's House, a Romance of the Free Forest by Stewart Edward White ~ Full Audiobook [romance]

Conjuror's House, a Romance of the Free Forest by Stewart Edward White audiobook.

Genre: romance

In the far northern Canadian wilderness, Conjuror's House stands as a lonely trading post where the Hudson Bay Company rules by distance, tradition, and fear. Virginia Albret has grown up inside that small, whitewashed outpost, the daughter of Galen Albret, the stern Factor who considers the forest, the river routes, and every competing trader to be under his control. Each brief summer brings a rush of brigades, voyageurs, and Indigenous families come to trade, and then the long winter closes in again. When a young free trader named Ned Trent arrives by canoe, he brings more than furs and bold talk: he challenges Albret's authority and awakens Virginia's hunger for a life beyond the post's rigid order. As rivalry flares between Company men and those who live by their own rules, the wilderness itself becomes an unforgiving judge, with perilous journeys, narrow margins of survival, and the constant threat of punishment known as the Long Traverse. Sweeping, atmospheric, and charged with romantic tension, Stewart Edward White's classic tale pits duty against desire and power against freedom at the edge of the known world.
