One woman's journey to wellness through a well-adjusted heart, well-watered soul, well-educated mind, and well-tuned body.

Spiritual Direction by Henri Nouwen
I think I will put this in the curriculum I am developing. I love Nouwen. I also love that Belovedness is included in this book. It is a combination of formation and direction. It has just one problematic part because he speaks of Vanier of L'Arche. Nouwen died before anyone knew of Vanier's sexual abuse. I will have the participants skip this part, and maybe future editions of this book will take this out of the book (which is a collection of his writings about spiritual direction in one volume).
