A handbook for spiritual directors: an ignatian guide for accompanying discernment of god's will - fr timothy gallagher

Timothy Gallagher has focused his entire adult life to studying and teaching Ignatian spirituality.

For decades he has made it the focus of his work to guide spiritual directors in the rich Ignatian discipline which currently is experiencing a remarkable renaissance far beyond the Catholic realm.

Out of this work grew the Handbook for Spiritual Directors which will make Fr.

Gallaghers extraordinary teaching available to Fr.

Gallaghers growing audience around the world.

This book helps spiritual directors guide the process of Ignatian discernment in a very practical and yet profoundly spiritual way.

Spiritual directors receive few requests more often, and more demanding than that of helping a person discern Gods will in lifes taxing decisions.

With this handbook, Fr.

Gallagher has provided the means necessary for responding to and helping with this request.

For those spiritual directors trained in Ignatian spirituality this book offers to become an essential companion, and for those who want to learn this form of discernment this book will provide the foundation for understanding and learning this age-old, proven process for discerning the will of God.
