An interesting and informed discussion of the contemporary practical applications of Ignatian pedagogy, this book is a must read for educators, social workers, or anyone who works with young people today!

The wisdom of Ignatius of Loyola has infused Jesuit education for centuries. This book applies an Ignatian pedagogical approach to public schools, which is long overdue. As we continue to heal from multiple collective societal traumas, educators and schools are looking for ways to support students' holistic development. I know of no better framework for doing it than Ignatius' cura personalis, which is thoughtfully described as applied in public school settings in this book.

In his well-researched interdisciplinary text... Brenkert makes his case that a Jesuit education is not antithetical to public education but complimentary because of its nature in being 'world-affirming' and in seeking to build character in each person in the human community.
