CHICAGO, Oct. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Fr. Joe Tetlow, SJ, has devoted his life to helping others form and deepen their relationship with God. That experience has shown him the importance of speaking to God "as one friend to another," a lesson he shares with readers in his new book You Have Called Me By My Name (paperback, $12.99).

Our family, peer and work relationships have changed dramatically over the last 18 months and many are struggling with finding their true north. There are struggles with isolation, conflict and fear of the unknown. Reframing our relationship with God as a trusted and reliable friend can guide us to the right path.

Fr. Tetlow helps us break through by relying on the themes of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius to go deeper in our prayer, to open our hearts to honest and intimate conversation with a God who is always with us, always available.

For everyone who wants to grow purposefully in this period of constant change, You Have Called My By My Name offers a valuable opening to a rich, deep, and intimate relationship with God.

In addition to other roles, Fr. Tetlow spent eight years in Rome as Secretary for Ignatian Spirituality, overseeing 250 Jesuit retreat houses throughout the world and eventually served as the director of the Montserrat Jesuit Retreat House at Lake Dallas, Texas, making You Have Called My By My Name an incredible new resource for spiritual directors, retreat leaders, and spiritual seekers of all sorts.
