By William A Barry, SJ
In God’s Great Story and You, Jesuit spiritual director William Barry invites readers to see their lives as part of God’s larger story of love and salvation. Drawing on Scripture, Ignatian spirituality, and everyday experience, he shows how God’s story is not abstract history but an ongoing relationship that includes each one of us. Barry helps readers reflect on their personal experiences of grace and connect them to the broader narrative of God’s work in the world.
Why we recommend it:
Barry makes it clear that every personal story of faith is woven into God’s great story, and that reflecting on our lives through this lens helps us recognize God’s presence and respond with greater trust. It’s an accessible and pastoral resource for individuals, small groups, or parish leaders who want to help others see how their ordinary experiences are part of God’s extraordinary plan.
