In A Companion to Jesuit Mysticism, Robert A. Maryks provides thirteen unique essays discussing the Jesuit mystical tradition, a somewhat neglected aspect of Jesuit historiography that stretches as far back as the order’s co-founder, Ignatius of Loyola, his spiritual visions at Manresa, and ultimately the mystical perspective contained in his Spiritual Exercises.

“excellent volume ... a welcome introduction into Jesuit mysticism and beyond.”
Philipp Reisner, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf. In: Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. 49, No. 2 (summer 2018), pp. 527-529.
“Though written by active scholars, the essays in the volume are accessible to non-specialist readers; indeed, though the specialist has something to learn from these texts, they are probably most valuable for newcomers to this field.”
Timothy W. O’Brien, S.J. In: The Way, Vol. 57, No. 1 (January 2018), pp. 115-116.
“I highly recommend this edited volume for the light it casts on historical and contemporary engagements with Ignatian spirituality, both as an active contemplative tradition of prayer, and as a stepping stone into the mystical traditions of infused prayer and prayer of quiet. […] Readers of this volume—both academics and practitioners—will find these articles challenging, informative, and enriching.”
Francis X. McAloon, S.J., Fordham University. In: Spiritus: A Journal of Christian Spirituality, Vol. 19, No. 1 (Spring 2019), pp. 168-172.

An amazing and detailed depiction of war, loss, survival and finding love despite it all. The characters are well fleshed out and flawed but deeply relatable. The actual story and premise of the book is brilliant, with plot twists you would never expect. Devastating and beautiful.
Bittersoet liefdesverhaal van onwaarskynlike pasmaats wat mekaar vind
Klopdans vir die hart, die nuwe Romanza uit die pen van René van Zyl, kon net so wel in die Inspirasie-subgenre tuis gewees het. Nie alleen is dit ’n bittersoet liefdesverhaal van twee onwaarskynlike pasmaats wat mekaar oor die loop van ’n week leer ken nie. Dit is ook vir Caitlin ’n ondersoekende reis na die Here, ’n proses om lewenslange verwerping en liefdeloosheid te bowe te kom.
Om dit ’n reisverhaal te noem, maak egter ook goeie sin. Caitlin en Aiden word deur die dominerende en hartelose matriarg van die Fitzgeralds, Ierland toe gestuur vir ’n wegbreek vir paartjies. Anders as wat dikwels gebeur wanneer die toneel verskuif na ’n ander land, word die leser hier nie verveel met eindelose skilder van die omgewing nie. Inteendeel, die bekoorlike omgewing word geïnkorporeer in die program van die wegbreekweek. Elke leser kan baie leer oor die huwelik uit die leidrade wat byvoorbeeld verskaf word vir die fietsreis deur die omgewing.
René van Zyl se liefde vir en kennis van Ierland, kastele en katedrale skemer deur in die oortuigende storielyn. So ook spreek die toneel van ’n pa en ’n gestremde seun uit eie ervaring.
As jy hierdie Romanza van Lapa Uitgewers aankoop, hetsy in gedrukte of e-formaat, sal dit geld baie goed gespandeer wees. Ek kan waarborg dat jy nie onaangeraak sal wees nie.
This is an excellent reference book! I will be using this often. I like the fact that the equivalent English is also in the book. And an excellent price, value for money.
Is daar 'n einde aan nooit? Yana gaan weldra uitvind
Drie susters, gebore Joubert, bedryf saam ’n maatsoek-agentskap, Belladonna. In hierdie derde Romanza in die reeks, val die soeklig nou op Yana, die tegniese ene, wat vir die webwerf en toep verantwoordelik is. Sy is ook die enigste een wat nog ongetroud is, trouens, sy is geskei en het die vaste voorneme om nóóit weer te trou nie.
’n Produksiemaatskappy betrek Belladonna by die skep van ’n realiteitsprogram en skielik is Yana se geordende wêreld op sy kop gedraai. Die bestuurshoof van Henderson Produksies, Simon Henderson, kom byna as dominerend voor, wat binne die konteks van die verhaal nodig is vir balans, juis omdat Yana so ’n sterk karakter is.
Sterk ja, maar een wat swaar dra aan komplekse as gevolg van haar mislukte huwelik. Haar vooropgesette idees kom telkens in die pad, laat haar verkeerd optree. Haar ma se raad kom goed te pas: “As jy in die moeilikheid is, dink eers goed na oor hoe jy daarúit gaan kom.” (p.88)
Hoe lank is nooit? Yana kom agter dat daar wel ’n einde aan “nooit” is. Dina Botha slaag weereens om ’n heerlike, romantiese verhaal op te diep, uitgegee deur Romanza, druknaam van Lapa Uitgewers.
