Essential books on spiritual direction

The print version of the Century's recent
feature on spiritual direction included an annotated book list,
which I compiled based on recommendations from three professors in the
discipline: Marlene Kropf (Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary), Marcus
Smucker (Eastern Mennonite University) and Angela Reed (Baylor University).
Here are those selections:

The Art of Spiritual Direction, by W. Paul Jones (2002). Jones, formerly a
Methodist theologian, now a Trappist monk and Catholic priest, draws on both
the Wesleyan and Catholic traditions. He offers a broad history of spiritual
direction, outlines what happens in the practice and suggests how to choose a
spiritual director. Included are helpful appendices on spirituality and the
Myers Briggs Type Inventory, the enneagram and family systems theory, and other
topics.

Holy Listening, by Margaret Guenther (1992). Beautifully and
simply written, Holy Listening uses
the theme of hospitality and the images of a teacher and midwife to the soul to
describe the role of spiritual directors. She concludes with a chapter on women
and spiritual direction.
