★ The Art of Spiritual Direction
2009 June 14
“The art of spiritual direction lies in our uncovering the obvious in our lives and in realizing that everyday events are the means by which God tries to reach us.”

great quote!
margaret guenther's was one of the best we read while i was in the school of spiritual direction with dave nixon in norwood.
Steven,I didn't know that you went through Dave's school. I'd love to be able to do that.I'm enjoying her book a lot; very practical guidance, and it's giving me a lot of good ideas and making me stop and think about how poorly I normally listen.
