Books on the Practice of Spiritual Direction

Spiritual direction is the art of guiding people into a deeper experience of God.  The following books discuss this ministry from a variety of perspectives.  For your convenience (since many of these books may not be readily available in your local bookstore), I have directly linked each book to its page at Amazon.com; just click its title and you can order in no time!

Soul Guide: Following Jesus As Spiritual Director by Dr. Bruce A. Demarest

This wonderful new book is written by a friend of mine, Bruce Demarest, who is a professor at Denver Seminary.  If you buy just one book this season to inspire you, this should be the one!  Bruce's advice on how to journey is very helpful and his survey of soul care - Jesus style - is excellent.  And how can I not recommend a book that refers to redemptive and mission level journeys (see page 28)?

The Purpose-Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? by Pastor Rick Warren

Many people have profited from Warren's Purpose Driven Church.  This new book seeks to apply Warren's ideas about purpose driven spirituality to individuals.  I'd be interested to know if the visitors to this site preferred this treatment to Bruce Demarest's, or vice versa.  After you've read both, let me know!

Spiritual Director, Spiritual Companion: Guide to Tending the Soul
by Tilden Edwards

Consider this an update of Edwards' views on spiritual direction.  He's always an interesting and profitable read.
 

Spiritual Direction and the Care of Souls: A Guide to Christian Approaches and Practices
by Gary W. Moon, David G. Benner.  "Editors Gary W. Moon and David G. Benner, along with a team of expert contributors, provide a comprehensive survey of spiritual direction in its myriad Christian forms. Specific chapters offer careful historical perspective and contemporary analysis of how Christians from various backgrounds have practiced spiritual direction, with particular attention to each tradition's definition of spiritual direction, the process of authentic transformation, the role of the spiritual director, indicators of mature spirituality and other aspects of the spiritual direction process. Chapters also provide psychological and clinical insight into how spiritual direction is similar to, different from and can be integrated with psychotherapy and pastoral counseling to help others experience spiritual transformation and union with God." - from Amazon.com Description.
