This account of the life of St. Ignatius, dictated by himself to Father Gonzalez, is a most valuable record of the great Founder of the Society of Jesus. It, more than any other work, gives an insight into the spiritual life of St. Ignatius. Few works in ascetical literature, except the writings of St. Teresa and St. Augustine, impart such a knowledge of the soul.The saint in his narrative always refers to himself in the third person, and this mode of speech has here been retained.

Brother Lawrence also left the gift of a direct approach to living in God's presence that is as practical today as it was three hundred years ago.

The general term apology, in context to literature, defends a world from attack (opposite of satire-which attacks the world).
