Interest in the practice of spiritual direction has grown in recent
years. With the increased number of people seeking direction have
come a number of new issues confronting spiritual directors. This
volume of essays by seasoned spiritual directors from a variety of
faith traditions addresses issues of concern to directors today
such as direction with: abused persons, the poor, church drop-outs,
and gays and lesbians. Other essays look at spiritual direction in
new contexts, such as the congregational setting, the corporate
arena, spiritual direction and generational issues, and direction
at the turn of the century. The final section of the book addresses
some specific circumstances: working with the addicted, with those
who are dying, using art in spiritual direction, and direction and
social justice.
