- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book, focusing on spiritual direction, did not resonate with me. I disliked the retelling of Biblical stories throughout the book. Sometimes I felt I was reading a commercial for their spiritual direction counseling service, and I wondered whether they changed the names of their clients or sought permission to use their first names. While the book may work better for other people, I just wanted it to end. The final pages finally began to discuss some classic examples of spirituality such as St. John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila, but even then the treatment is superficial. I'd prefer to read the classic authors on the subject.
