Summary:A significant departure from other treatments, this unique resource combines deep appreciation for the great classic discipline of spiritual guidance with a very practical focus on meeting the specific needs of the person seeking direction. Through case studies, sample dialogues, and practical tips for the spiritual director, Bidwell's lucid work shows what directors can learn from the short-term therapy model, enabling people briefly but effectively to listen for God's presence and to formulate authentic responses. he also shows how such techniques can be helpfully applied not only to individual direction but to group settings, vocational discernment and family counseling.
