The Practice of Spiritual Direction

Short Review: I am considering going to formal training to become a spiritual director. Because I am who I am, I decided to read widely about spiritual direction as part of the decision making process.

This is a classic (originally published in 1982). The authors are Catholic, but it is widely ecumenical in language and approach. The first two chapters are describing what spiritual direction is and what is supposed to accomplish. The rest is instruction for spiritual directors. This is the most helpful book written for spiritual directors I have read so far.
