The author has stripped away the obscurity and fearfulness of spiritual direction and shown it to be basically good Christian common sense, rooted and grounded in the love of God in Christ, and enabled by the Holy Spirit to be effective.

It took me a long time to get through this, not because it’s long (only 130 pages), but because it’s quite deep, and at times seemed disjointed. It was written in 1982 yet still very much applicable to us today in 2017. It’s heavy theologically, somewhat philosophical, and an interesting read if you can plow through some of his thinking. (
