Description

This book is born out of a wide range of practical experience of more than 20 years in working with people training for the ministry of spiritual direction.

Spiritual direction recognises that there is an energy in life that moves a person outwards and influences the direction taken.

The focus of the ministry is to help the person notice those movements and make good choices that enhance the Christ-like quality of life. It acknowledges that the Holy Spirit is the primary director.

See God act. The book seeks to provide a broader vision of the ministry drawing on insights from spirituality, scripture and psychology.

These bring a fuller understanding of the person created by God, capable of knowing and responding to God.

It acknowledges that many of the difficulties that arise in the direction of life are at the human, not the faith, level.

Patterns are laid down in early life and can continue into adulthood.

This can be so without much awareness of their source, though their influence may be evident. Even in a prayerful reflective life, further help may be needed to bring greater freedom from unconscious influences.

Moreover, freedom is a key mediator to facilitate moving on to accept the gifts God offers. Life is dynamic, not static, involving an inner and an outer journey.

We live in relationships with God, self, others and all creation.

Jesus is active in life and meets people where they are but does not leave them there.

The invitation is onwards. Attention is drawn to, and there is an exploration of the dynamics involved in the different relationships to bring greater clarity to them. The experience of working with people has highlighted the need of this development.

Prayer that comes out of life and flows back into life is key to this.

May the book inspire you to navigate your ongoing journey in the Lord in an integrated way.
