Description
A concise introduction to the practice of spiritual direction and its role in helping Christians grow in their relationship with God. The book explains how spiritual direction is not counselling, therapy, or simply advice-giving, but a process of discerning the action of the Holy Spirit in one’s life with the help of a trained guide. Fr de Stoop explores who can benefit from spiritual direction, how it fosters self-knowledge, prayer, discernment, and spiritual growth, and why it has been a valued part of the Catholic tradition throughout the centuries. The emphasis is on learning to recognise God’s presence and guidance more clearly in everyday life.
