Far from being today's ?new personal trainers, ? spiritual and vocational directors point the trajectory of life toward God. In her introduction to Moving in God's Direction, author and vocational consultant Mary Sharon Moore notes: ?Spiritual directors have been around for centuries, going back to ? those early abbas and ammas of the desert tradition. ? This spiritual practice is not about getting the world to move in your direction; rather, it is about you moving in God's direction?a far more humble proposition.? Moving in God's Direction is the fruit of Moore's years of active study, observation, practice, prayer, and deep immersion in the church's scriptural and liturgical traditions. The author distinctively integrates classic disciplines of Christian spiritual direction, charism discernment, vocational discernment, and scriptural and liturgical insights to offer readers a powerful way to engage the challenges and invitations to deeper meaning that shape their life. Part 1, ?Getting the Conversation Going: The Spirit Meets the Need, ? examines crucial aspects of the director-directee relationship. Part 2, ?The Maturing Conversation: The Spiritual Meets the Vocational, ? integrates life circumstances with the ongoing invitation to mature life in Christ. Appendix material offers practical tips, guidance, and encouragement in the actual spiritual direction session. Moving in God's Direction is not only an extensive and unusually integrative handbook for spiritual directors and directees, but an invaluable source of encouragement for people of Christian faith who seek to understand more deeply the many dimensions of life that are worth exploring in the light of God's calling. Mary Sharon Moore is a Catholic author, speaker, and spiritual and vocational director. She is founding director of Awakening Vocations, a consulting practice that guides individuals and faith communities in awakening to God's deeper calling. She is author of Touching the Reign of God, Moving in God's Direction, and numerous articles. Her spiritual direction practice spans the English-speaking world.

Not far? In this collection of engaging essays, author and vocation consultant Mary Sharon Moore encourages fellow Christians to boldly travel through their own life experience from the disengaged edges to the living core of the reign of God. Drawing from Scripture's most challenging teachings as well as unexpected moments of testing and grace, Touching the Reign of God breaks open the transformative power of the reign of God, which is not far at all but intimately near--pervading every aspect of daily life. Thought-provoking questions at the end of each essay guide individual and study group formation in the practice of theological reflection, the work of discerning God's movement in life's circumstance. As Moore reveals through story and insight, touching the reign of God is not optional work for those who profess Christian faith; rather, it is a vital participation in the redeeming work of the risen Christ. This brilliant collection of essays models the journey into the reign of God, which every one of us must take.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51278731215121,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51278733115665,"sku":"NIN9781498252287","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52407968596241,"sku":"NLS9781498252287","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1498252281.jpg?v=1750892959"},{"product_id":"touching-the-reign-of-god-book-mary-sharon-moore-9781606081976","title":"Touching the Reign of God","description":"You are not far from the reign of God, Jesus tells the scribe.
