Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This is a solid introduction to the art of guiding others in Christian spiritual growth. Guenther, wife, mother, Episcopal priest, and seminary professor, uses feminine images, especially midwifery, to describe the director's role, but insists that both women and men can assist spiritual birth. Her treatment is thoroughly human, and at the same time she is considerate of gender issues. Guenther focuses on sins of self-hatred and self-contempt as well as pride and greed. An excellent addition to its field, this is for seminary and public libraries.

Sewanee Theological Review
It is likely that thousands of women have excelled in the work of spiritual direction during the centuries between the desert mother Theodora and Margaret Guenther. Yet no more than a handful have recorded their methods and guiding principles in manuals for the instruction of others.

Guenther has produced a primer for people who are attracted to the ministry of spiritual direction either as directors or as directees. Drawing on her own experience through anecdotal narratives and generalized reflections, she elucidates common problems and suggests a variety of specific responses. Its value accrues from the soundness of Guenther's homely wisdom, conveyed in a manner that is at once inspirational and practical.
