To Set the World on Fire invites readers into a steady rhythm of prayer rooted in the four Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAPs) adopted at the 36th General Congregation of the Society of Jesus in 2019. The four UAPs guide us in:

Showing the way to God
Walking with the excluded
Journeying with youth
Caring for our common home

Drawing from Scripture, the Spiritual Exercises, and the writings of luminaries in the Ignatian tradition, including St. Peter Faber, Jerome Nadal, Mark Thibodeaux, William Barry, and Gregory Boyle, this book offers prayers, reflections, and contemplative practices to help us discern, act, and live our lives with spiritual intentionality.

Through eight-day prayer octaves, thematic reflections, and Examens, To Set the World on Fire seamlessly integrates the depth, wisdom, and sincerity of the UAPs into daily prayer life.
