In this thought-provoking, practical book, Tran and Boyd help congregations take a significant step toward integrating spiritual direction into their personal and communal discernment processes. Any pastor or lay person would benefit greatly from exploring and implementing the Prayer Model and Spiritual Discovery Method described in this book. 606 $aPrayer$xChristianity$xStudy and teaching 606 $aDiscernment (Christian theology)$xStudy and teaching 606 $aSmall groups$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 615 0$aPrayer$xChristianity$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aDiscernment (Christian theology)$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aSmall groups$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 676 $a253.7 676 $a253/.7 700 $aTran$b Catherine C.$f1959-$01718806 702 $aBoyd$b Sandra Hughes 702 $aVennard$b Jane E. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808587803321 996 $aSpiritual discovery$94116067 997 $aUNINA
