"Can you make some time to talk with me on some kind of regular basis about my relationship with God, my prayer life, in fact my whole life?" If this question is important to you, then this book is written for you.

Inviting the Mystic, Supporting the Prophet is written to encourage lay people, sisters and priests to confidently use their gifts to become spiritual directors to others.

This book offers encouragement to those already involved in the task, builds upon the natural gifts of those who feel called to begin and hopes to increase the number of hearts willing to hear others in this way.

Inviting the Mystic, Supporting the Prophet is filled with spiritual depth and common sense. Among the topics treated are: faithing, contemporary spirituality, defining spiritual direction, presuppositions about the director and about prayer, praying through the desert, prayerful decision-making and mystics and prophets.
