<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Finding Our Way to God</em> offers an approach to spiritual direction using mental prayer that can be used to create healing and peace when conducting guidance sessions with seekers.</p><p>Based on the teachings of St. Alphonsus Liguori, the founder of the Redemptorists, Fr. Dennis Billy's approach examines the moral life in the context of spiritual direction. While thoroughly Catholic, St. Alphonsus was so pastoral -- focusing on the poor and marginalized -- that the approach can be easily learned and used by adherents of other religious, philosophical, and ethical traditions.</p><p>In <em>Finding Our Way to God</em>, Fr. Dennis Billy: </p><p><ul><li>Teaches active listening, which is essential for spiritual directors.</li><li>Emphasizes the continuity between a person's spirituality and morality through growth in the virtues and gifts of the Holy Spirit.</li><li>Provides an understanding of how the model of spiritual direction can be adapted to meet the needs of a wide variety of people.</li><li>Helps the reader use Alphonsian spirituality as a backdrop for conducting spiritual direction.</li></ul></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>An important work for current times! Solidly anchored in Alphonsian spirituality and moral theology, Fr. Dennis Billy's book, like a triptych, unfolds to reveal how it is truly Catholic, yet easily adapted to embrace ecumenical and interfaith settings of spiritual direction. Through his comprehensive treatment of the scope and skills required for spiritual direction; overview of the moral life; review of virtues, gifts, and fruits of the Holy Spirit, <em>Finding Our Way to God</em> is an excellent renewal resource for veteran spiritual directors, and it's a handbook for beginning spiritual directors and those without formal training in direction whom the Holy Spirit has chosen to work with those in need. Readers will discover how the common tasks of spiritual direction and the moral life come into focus and merge.</p>--Bonnie Lemelle Abadie "Director, Theological Field Education, Oblate School of Theology, San Antonio, TX" (6/14/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p>As a son of St. Alphonsus, Fr.
