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.
