Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, many Christian clergy, laity and mental health professionals have rediscovered the ancient practices of spiritual direction. Seen as a refreshing alternative to the techniques and limitations of modern psychology, such practices offer new insights for pastoral care. But many remain unclear on what spiritual direction is and whether its methods are applicable to their own clients and parishioners. Spiritual direction is a practice of Christian soul care that is found most notably in the Catholic, Orthodox and Episcopal traditions but is also present in Wesleyan/Holiness, Pentecostal/charismatic, social justice and Reformed communities. Predating modern counseling and psychotherapy movements but sharing key principles and insights for spiritual formation, spiritual direction offers significant resources for today s pastors, counselors, therapists, chaplains and other caregivers attuned to the work of God in people s lives. In this landmark volume, editors Gary W. Moon and David G. Benner, along with a team of expert contributors, provide a comprehensive survey of spiritual direction in its myriad Christian forms. Specific chapters offer careful historical perspective and contemporary analysis of how Christians from various backgrounds have practiced spiritual direction, with particular attention to each tradition s definition of spiritual direction, the process of authentic transformation, the role of the spiritual director, indicators of mature spirituality and other aspects of the spiritual direction process. Chapters also provide psychological and clinical insight into how spiritual direction is similar to, different from and can be integrated with psychotherapy and pastoral counseling to help others experience spiritual transformation and union with God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiritual direction is increasingly popular among Christians of all mainstream traditions, with demand for directors outstripping supply in many places. And although the Bible is central to the practice of spiritual direction, very little has been published on how best to use it in this form of ministry. Experienced spiritual director Liz Hoare explores the central role the Bible has played in Christian experience, in order to discourage poor, shallow, or rigid use of the Bible, which can lead to damage and inhibit spiritual growth. According to Hoare, the goal of spiritual direction is not a personal improvement plan but a people who are being shaped into the likeness of Christ, for the flourishing of the church as a whole. Using different methods of praying with the Bible and drawing on historical traditions of Christian spirituality, as well as current literature and practice, this book offers a rich, stimulating, and thoroughly biblical resource for all those who give and receive spiritual direction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here at last is a book that deals seriously and comprehensively with the rapidly growing field of spiritual direction. Spiritual Direction offers practical help to those clergy and laypersons who are responsible for the spiritual lives of other people. Spiritual Direction encourages spiritual directors to take their responsibilities seriously and professionally, moving spiritual direction away from "cozy little chats" to the "cold, hard slab" of the examining table. Equipped with certain skills--a keen knowledge of human psychology and an awareness of biblical and contemplative traditions--the spiritual director objectively examines the client, then offers concrete guidance for the spiritual life of the client. As a prominent figure in pastoral theology and Anglican spirituality for three decades, Martin Thornton is uniquely qualified to offer us insights into spiritual direction. He restores credibility and professionalism to spiritual direction, which is at once hard, analytical, and supportive. Thornton writes with wit, common sense, and an absence of sentimentality on a topic that calls for serious attention. Spiritual Direction is important reading for the increasing numbers of laypeople involved in spiritual direction, as well as for clergy and pastoral counselors.

Book excerpt: Thrive: Life-Giving Disciplines for a Chaotic World. For many of us, life feels more chaotic than intentional, more frustrating than fulfilling, more exhausting than life-giving, or a crazy quilt of all of the above. We're harried and hurried and hungry for more. Jesus sees our soul-weariness and invites us to a different way of life-a way to thrive. In Thrive, Meyer leads us along ancient paths to discover rhythms, practices, and relationships which help us thrive today. With wisdom from the monastic Rule of St. Benedict lighting your way, in each chapter you'll consider your own way of life: your values and priorities, gifts and abilities, dreams and longings, your relationship with Christ and one another. Thrive guides you in writing a simple rule of life, a gentle guideline expressing your desires and intentions as Christ's followers. A rule of life is not about keeping rules, but keeping relationship-a life-giving relationship with Jesus Christ. Thrive will help you answer the question, what kind of life does Christ invite me to live? Endorsements "Many believers today long for a return to the faith practices of our spiritual ancestors. These pilgrims rank "tested" over "trendy," "time-worn" over "hip," and "liturgical" over "entertaining." In this, her concise guide through the ancient paths, Thrive: Life-Giving Disciplines for a Chaotic World, spiritual director Markene Meyer gently re-introduces sojourners to the ways our elders knew. Highly recommended." Sandra Glahn, seminary professor and author of the Coffee Cup Bible Study series "In our fast-paced society that is increasingly hostile to Christianity, how can the believer consistently notice and thrive in Christ's presence? In Thrive, Markene Meyer beautifully describes ancient, timeless spiritual disciplines and walks the believer through life-giving practices that can help us live free from the tyranny of modern culture." Penna Dexter, Co-host, Point of View Radio Show "I strongly endorse Thrive: Life-Giving Disciplines for a Chaotic World by Markene Meyer. In this innovative work, Meyer suggests adopting a rule of life, which can help govern our busy habits in these high-tech times. The applications are based upon practices deeply rooted in church history. This book should be read with a cup of coffee in one hand . . . and a highlighter in the other. The penetrating questions truly made me think and forced me to examine my own patterns and natural reflexes. I want to live in a life-giving way and I know Meyer's scholarship will help me see the path." Dr. Paul Pettit, Professor of Pastoral Ministries, Dallas Theological Seminary "I always like a book that makes me think. But I love a book that invites me on a personal journey of discovery and spiritual growth. Thrive: Life-Giving Disciplines for a Chaotic World is such a book. Markene Meyer deftly crafts an experience that encourages readers to engage in spiritual practices that have stood the test of time while considering how their culture affects their current lifestyle. Throughout the exercises and group encounters, participants are led to thoughtfully consider and embrace those activities which enliven their relationship with God and nurture a life of love." - Debbie Swindoll, Executive Director of Grafted Life Ministries

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÒMy aim in writing this book has been to give to my brethren of the Anglican Communion what we do not at present possess, a comprehensive study of the Christian spiritual life. The need of such a work is becoming increasingly clear; there are signs in many quarters of a real desire for the spiritual life, and priests are beginning to discover the vital and practical importance of a knowledge of ascetical theology. . . . ÒThe plan of the book is simple. Part I deals with the action of God in the soul by grace; Part II with the human resistance to the divine will and the means whereby that resistance may be overcome; Part III is a brief outline of the divine economy of the sacraments; Part IV is concerned with the life of prayer, and in Part V we consider the end of the spiritual life and the ways by which that end may be reached, concluding with a chapter on the guidance of souls with some consideration of the qualities of the ideal director.Ó --from the Preface

Book excerpt: • A comprehensive resource for understanding the various components of spiritual direction • The first such resource written entirely by spiritual directors of color Early mystics of the Near East and northern Africa created the monastic traditions and were the first psychologists, exploring various practices to test the human capacity. In medieval times, spiritual direction was common in the Roman Catholic monastic traditions. It extended significantly into Protestant Christianity in the late twentieth century by predominantly white and affluent organizations. Spiritual direction has progressively become a global, multi-religious and interfaith practice. This book is a comprehensive and concise text from a spiritual director of color, offering inclusive resources and tools to spiritual directors of many faiths and for people of diverse cultures and traditions. Core skills such a deep listening, hospitality, and discernment are presented with cutting-edge lessons on internal liberation, systemic trauma, and imaginative discovery. Spiritual direction is taught by more than 100 educational institutions and spirituality centers in the US alone, but typical curriculum generally does not reflect current cultural reality and growing diversity. This is a textbook for anyone who studies spiritual direction as both preparation for and deepening of their calling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academy of Parish Clergy Top Ten List "Come away and rest awhile." Jesus invites us to be with him, offering our full and undivided attention to him. When we choose retreat, we make a generous investment in our friendship with Christ. We are not always generous with ourselves where God is concerned. Many of us have tried to incorporate regular times of solitude and silence into the rhythm of our ordinary lives, which may mean that we give God twenty minutes here and half an hour there. And there’s no question we are better for it! But we need more. Indeed, we long for more. In these pages Transforming Center founder and seasoned spiritual director Ruth Haley Barton gently leads us into retreat as a key practice that opens us to God. Based on her own practice and her experience leading hundreds of retreats for others, she will guide you in a very personal exploration of seven specific invitations contained within the general invitation to retreat. You will discover how to say yes to God's winsome invitation to greater freedom and surrender. There has never been a time when the invitation to retreat is so radical and so relevant, so needed and so welcome. It is not a luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although God is at the center of the process of spiritual direction, the more readily visible participants are human beings. Like all other people, directors and directees are subject to relationship dynamics. Trustworthy Connections identifies some issues and challenges that can arise in spiritual direction relationships and offers resources for further consideration and reflection. The topics and examples are focused on traditional one–to–one, face–to–face spiritual direction, although some are also relevant to group direction and direction by correspondence. Trustworthy Connections is designed for use as a reference and a springboard for discussion for spiritual directors and anyone else who is interested in spiritual direction. Like the process of spiritual direction itself, this book is about asking questions, discussing ideas, and suggesting alternatives rather than giving advice or getting answers.
