Book Review: Abba, Give Me A Word: The Path of Spiritual Direction by L Roger Owens - a short book about what spiritual direction looks like in practice. A lot of protestant Christians are unacquainted with spiritual direction. It is something that I think is missing in our tools for spiritual growth. It is sort of mentoring/counseling/friendship/accountability done on an intentional and regular basis for the purpose of growing spiritually.

Roger Owens isn't writing a book on how to be a spiritual director, but on how to receive spiritual direction. I picked it up during the Paraclete kindle book sale a couple weeks ago so it was only $3 on kindle and it was definitely worth that. Now to actually find a spiritual director.
