The Reluctant Spiritual Director: A Handbook for Offering and Receiving Spiritual Direction

by Fleetwood Range

Spiritual direction is a particular way of walking the path of spiritual discovery in close company with another person. The Reluctant Spiritual Director speaks to both the prospective spiritual director, uncertain of his or her call, and the prospective directee, uncertain of the benefits. This book answers the most basic questions about spiritual What is it? How does it work? Who does it? Would spiritual direction help me? Am I being called into this ministry myself? Though spiritual direction is an ancient Christian spiritual practice it has only recently been rediscovered by mainstream Christianity because of the widespread longing for "something more."

I'm a bit too biased as this book was written by my mother. But it really is a very understandable, accessible, and practical guide to spiritual direction.
