The Art of Spiritual Direction by Jos Moons Sj

The Art of Spiritual Direction by Jos Moons Sj

This is a concrete, practical book about spiritual accompaniment. In six chapters, the author presents the following tools: there is no rush, listening by following, searching for the soul, going deeper, evaluating, and accompanying towards spiritual maturity.

‘..[an] approachable and well planned-out book...I would recommend it. For new spiritual directors these case-studies provide a window into what might lie ahead of them; for experienced directors it can be an opportunity to compare and reflect upon their own practices.’

The Furrow

-- Michael Shorthall * The Furrow *

“...highly recommended...A book like this suggests a way ahead in the coming post-pandemic world.”

-- Peter Costello * The Irish Catholic *

“...focuses on how training can develop a director’s skills...to offer ‘concrete, clear and practical tools’...More experienced directors might also find it useful as offering a framework enabling deeper reflection on their own practice.”

The Way

“Moons emphasizes the need to pay attention to the small details of the searcher’s daily life and their relationships with others. [He offers]  some practical advice on how to become a good listener and how to ask simple questions to help the searcher further articulate their own inner experience.”

Gaudium Mundi

* Gaudium Mundi *

‘...an intensely practical and useful book...rooted in real and disciplined experience. I commend it not only to those who direct, but to those who seek direction...’

-- Adrian Chatfield * Louvain Studies *

‘Moons offers a practical tool-kit for those who seek to listen better to the movement of the Holy Spirit in the context of spiritual direction.’
