About Spiritual Direction: A Beginner's Guide
Product Description In a lively and personal style rich with stories and personal reflection, Fr. Richard Malloy introduces readers to the art and practice of Spiritual Direction in the Jesuit tradition. Responding to the tone and texture of millennials' questions and concerns, his book emphasizes spiritual direction as a relationship with God that leads to both personal and social transformation. Drawing on insights from a wide range of authors who write on prayer and the spiritual life, Fr. Malloy shows how the human desire for God unites with our aspirations for a world that reflects God's peace and justice. He discusses Ignatian tradition and practices, such as the examen and silent retreats, and shows how to integrate prayer and reflection into everyday life. Useful for courses on spirituality and pastoral theology, Spiritual Direction: A Beginner's Guide is enriching reading for those seeking spiritual growth as well as those already engaged in spiritual direction. Review "This exceedingly wise book, steeped in experience and filled with real-life examples, is destined to help many people understand the essential practice of spiritual direction. Father Malloy is known for his inviting, accessible, and often lighthearted style, and his new book will be a great blessing to all those who seek to deepen their relationships with God." -- James Martin, SJ, author, Jesus: A Pilgrimage "Spiritual Direction is a suspension bridge, uniting Ignatian spirituality and this great longing within us all to find our way. This most helpful book is chock-full of humor and humanity, a huge heart and a humble invitation into the spiritual life." -- Greg Boyle, SJ, author, Tattoos on the Heart "We finally have the freedom and the skill to tell people that they can trust their own inner experience because of the re-discovered gift of spiritual direction. This gives Christianity a strong opportunity for both depth and actual change of consciousness. Richard Malloy's book is a major contribution in this direction." -- Richard Rohr, O.F.M., Center for Action and Contemplation About the Author Richard G.
