This book explores the relationship between the practices of
pastoral care and the practices of spiritual direction with the aim
of enabling pastoral caregivers to draw upon the guiding
principles, resources, and techniques of spiritual direction within
the Christian tradition. With an emphasis on both "practice" and
"presence", the book reclaims the tradition of "soul care" for the
pastoral ministry, thereby complementing the medical, or crisis
intervention, model of pastoral care with a wellness/growth model
of pastoral care.
Listening for the Soul:
-- Challenges clergy to take seriously the relationship between
pastoral care and spiritual direction.
-- Integrates theological and psychological insights with issues of
spiritual life and formation.
-- Includes a chapter on the spiritual formation of children.
-- Provides practical guidance for integrating spiritual direction
with pastoral care.
-- Tends to the pastoral caregivers own needs for spiritual
deepening.
-- Includes reflection questions and case studies to enable the
text to function on both the individual reader and classroom
levels.
