Produktbeschreibung
Spiritual direction is a beautiful ministry, which nonetheless has pitfalls of its own. While there are many guides to spiritual direction available, few are practical: spiritual directors may develop a deep understanding of the ministry and yet find themselves in trouble when they encounter the practical challenges of guiding other human beings. Jos Moons' The Art of Spiritual Direction is a practical intervention in the field, for new and experienced directors alike, that provides concrete, detailed examples of spiritual direction in action. Using the framework of Ignatian spirituality and developing six unique tools for spiritual directors, Moons maps out the many paths spiritual direction can take, marks the pitfalls and dangers, and points towards an Ignatian model for "successful" spiritual direction inwhich the directee is a full participant. The Art of Spiritual Direction is a tool kit for the emerging spiritual director as much as it is a tune-up for the experienced one: it refreshes, challenges and grounds the reader while attempting to answer a question important for director and directee alike, "who directs the directors?"--Back
