For those who do not have a spiritual director – or are curious about the concept – W. Paul Jones has crafted a series of topical meditations that facilitate self-guided spiritual direction. In this fresh approach to a means of spiritual growth, readers will explore self-guided spiritual direction with the ultimate spiritual director, the Holy Spirit. (Jones is a Trappist monk who has taught at Yale, Princeton, and St. Paul School of Theology.) Jones guides readers to examine their inner thoughts, truths, difficulties, and triumphs through reflection questions at the end of each chapter that prompt introspection and ultimately provide direction in their spiritual lives. Chapter topics include Abandonment, Being Second, Covenant, Envy, Prayer, and Religion.
