Inviting the Mystic- Supporting the Prophet: An Introduction to Spiritual Direction

INVITING THE MYSTIC, SUPPORTING THE PROPHET is written to encourage lay people, sisters, and priests to confidently use their gifts to become spiritual directors to others. This book offers encouragement to those already involved in the task, builds upon the natural gifts of those who feel called to begin and hopes to increase the number of hearts willing to hear others in this way. Among the topics treated are faithing, contemporary spirituality, defining spiritual direction, presuppositions about the director and about prayer, praying through the desert, prayerful decision making and mystics and prophets.
