Encounter Grace: Moments of Hope, Peace, and Joy by Becky Eldredge (Loyola Press)

In Encounter Grace, bestselling author and Ignatian spiritual director Becky Eldredge invites you to discover the sacred in the everyday. Drawing on more than two decades of ministry and her own personal experiences, Becky offers gentle, heartfelt reflections grounded in Ignatian spirituality, each one a reminder that God longs to be in relationship with you.

With warmth and clarity, Becky guides you into your own “inner chapel,” that quiet, interior space where God is always present. Through short readings, simple prayer practices, and reflection prompts, Encounter Grace becomes a trusted companion for anyone navigating life’s transitions, looking for a simple aid for daily prayer, or experiencing feelings of spiritual restlessness.

Whether you are sipping your morning coffee, winding down before bed, or finding a quiet moment in your busy day, this book is here to support you as you embrace the gift of your inner chapel. Let this be your invitation to step away from the noise, enter sacred stillness, and encounter the grace that is waiting for you.
