A guide is a welcome addition on most any journey. So it is with the greatest of all journeys:
the journey to God. One of the Church’s most long-standing and fruitful traditions,
spiritual direction is an instrument of God’s glory in the world. The act of
clearing the way for the Holy Spirit is a delicate yet challenging matter, and
one that requires humility, patience, and charity, among other virtues.
Through Wind and Waves is a guidebook for those undertaking this
important work. It offers wisdom for both the supernatural and the practical
elements of spiritual direction. It shows that being a spiritual guide is not
simply a matter of prayer and meditation, but one of a firm interior life,
genuine friendship, and the daily realities of living one’s life for the Lord.
That life will be marked by adventure, since every soul is unique and is led by
the Spirit to blaze new paths to holiness.
Filled with wisdom from the saints, as well as Jesus’ words in the Gospels, Through
Wind and Waves is a valuable resource for those called to lead others
into the safe harbor of God’s love.
