God’s Field Hospital offers treatment by the greatest physician of all – God the healer – for those hurt, wounded or ill, and all those who find themselves in the dark, nursing a cold heart, or holding on to a failing life. And, as with any field hospital, the church should be open on all sides, to all who feel excluded. The 60 Ignatian spiritual exercises inside this book offer retreatants and directors an effective relationship with God, the healer.
