Sample Book Insights:
#1 The distance between a Zen Master in the Far East and a Christian spiritual director in the West might seem wide, but it points to the wisdom we need to live the questions of our lives, both alone and in community.
#2 To seek spiritual direction, for me, means to ask the big questions, the fundamental questions, and the universal ones in a supportive community. Out of asking the right questions and living the questions, right actions will come about.
#3 The first step in receiving guidance is to ask yourself difficult questions. Your life is not a problem to be solved, but a journey to be taken with Jesus as your friend and guide.
#4 To receive spiritual help in time of need, you must first not deny but affirm the search. Painful questions must be raised, faced, and then lived. This means that you must constantly avoid the temptation of offering or accepting simple answers.
