In a culture that's ?all about me, ? the church continues to offer
men and women of Christian faith a refreshing, life-serving
practice for personal growth: spiritual and vocational direction.
Far from being today's ?new personal trainers, ? spiritual and
vocational directors point the trajectory of life toward God. In
her introduction to Moving in God's Direction, author and
vocational consultant Mary Sharon Moore notes: ?Spiritual directors
have been around for centuries, going back to ? those early abbas
and ammas of the desert tradition. ? This spiritual practice is not
about getting the world to move in your direction; rather, it is
about you moving in God's direction?a far more humble proposition.?
Moving in God's Direction is the fruit of Moore's years of active
study, observation, practice, prayer, and deep immersion in the
church's scriptural and liturgical traditions. The author
distinctively integrates classic disciplines of Christian spiritual
direction, charism discernment, vocational discernment, and
scriptural and liturgical insights to offer readers a powerful way
to engage the challenges and invitations to deeper meaning that
shape their life. Part 1, ?Getting the Conversation Going: The
Spirit Meets the Need, ? examines crucial aspects of the
director-directee relationship. Part 2, ?The Maturing Conversation:
The Spiritual Meets the Vocational, ? integrates life circumstances
with the ongoing invitation to mature life in Christ. Appendix
material offers practical tips, guidance, and encouragement in the
actual spiritual direction session. Moving in God's Direction is
not only an extensive and unusually integrative handbook for
spiritual directors and directees, but an invaluable source of
encouragement for people of Christian faith who seek to understand
more deeply the many dimensions of life that are worth exploring in
the light of God's calling. Mary Sharon Moore is a Catholic author,
speaker, and spiritual and vocational director. She is founding
director of Awakening Vocations, a consulting practice that guides
individuals and faith communities in awakening to God's deeper
calling. She is author of Touching the Reign of God, Moving in
God's Direction, and numerous articles. Her spiritual direction
practice spans the English-speaking world. More at
