In recent years, many Christian clergy, laity and mental health
professionals have rediscovered the ancient practices of spiritual
direction. Seen as a refreshing alternative to the techniques and
limitations of modern psychology, such practices offer new insights
for pastoral care. But many remain unclear on what spiritual
direction is and whether its methods are applicable to their own
clients and parishioners. Spiritual direction is a practice of
Christian soul care that is found most notably in the Catholic,
Orthodox and Episcopal traditions but is also present in
Wesleyan/Holiness, Pentecostal/charismatic, social justice and
Reformed communities. Predating modern counseling and psychotherapy
movements but sharing key principles and insights for spiritual
formation, spiritual direction offers significant resources for
today's pastors, counselors, therapists, chaplains and other
caregivers attuned to the work of God in people's lives. In this
landmark volume, editors Gary W. Moon and David G. Benner, along
with a team of expert contributors, provide a comprehensive survey
of spiritual direction in its myriad Christian forms. Specific
chapters offer careful historical perspective and contemporary
analysis of how Christians from various backgrounds have practiced
spiritual direction, with particular attention to each tradition's
definition of spiritual direction, the process of authentic
transformation, the role of the spiritual director, indicators of
mature spirituality and other aspects of the spiritual direction
process. Chapters also provide psychological and clinical insight
into how spiritual direction is similar to, different from and can
be integrated with psychotherapy and pastoral counseling to help
others experience spiritual transformation and union with God.
