Seabury Books, 2006

Benedict would be proud
I received the book as an ordination gift and immediately knew I would have to use it in a small group study setting. The book is easy-to-read, but deeply thought-provoking. Guenther explains the fundamentals of a rule of life and why we need them. Each chapter has questions to help you journal or to spur on conversation. In our group, we wrote rules for ourselves or are in the process of ...

Do you hear what I hear?
In her slim volume Holy Listening: The Art of Spiritual Direction, Episcopal priest and spiritual director Margaret Guenther has provided a jewel of a book for those interested in spiritual direction, and more particularly, for those who are interested in becoming spiritual directors. Spiritual direction is rather difficult to classify. It is part art, part science, part skill. It bears ...
