From his simple upbringing in a mountain village to his years at university, Faber exhibited a mind for learning and a heart for prayer. After doing Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises -- an intense retreat for deepening one's commitment to Christ and friendship with God -- Faber led others to do the same and soon earned a reputation as the best teacher of the Exercises. But it was a time of great dissention, as the Church struggled to respond to the challenges of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. Battle lines were drawn -- in churches and conversations, at meetings and councils. Along with other Jesuits, Faber sought to help people keep the faith. In exploring Peter Faber's life of conversation, we can learn a powerful and faithful response to dissent, disagreement, and division -- for his time and ours." -- from publisher. ER -
