Discover An Open Place: The Ministry of Group Spiritual Direction by Marlene Kropf.
Start reading today and explore ideas, insights, and experiences that stay with you.
Overview: This book responds to the movement to expand spiritual direction beyond the classic one-with-one model. Group spiritual direction has the potential to offer the rich experience of individual spiritual direction to a much wider audience, yet very little has been written to provide guidance for starting such groups. This book responds to that challenge. It outlines ways that a diverse and ecumenical group of spiritual directors worked to initiate groups in multiple contexts. It examines the many variables-among directors, directees, even meeting spaces- that affect and enliven this ministry. And it summarizes pitfalls, successes, and discoveries.

It was just alright. It felt a bit repetitive in the middle. Could have been shorter. A generous 3 stars.
