Listening for the Soul: Pastoral Care and Spiritual Direction
This book explores the relationship between
the practices of pastoral care and the
practices of spiritual direction with the
aim of enabling pastoral caregivers to draw
upon the guiding principles, resources and
techniques of spiritual direction within the
Christian tradition. With an emphasis on
both "practice" and "presence," the book
reclaims the tradition of "soul care" for
the pastoral ministry, thereby complementing
the medical, or crisis intervention, model
of pastoral care with a wellness/growth
model of pastoral care.
