FROM THE REAR COVER

"Over forty years ago," writes Father Kelsey, "I began my own attempt to be open to God and allow the Holy One to take part in my life. Over
thirty years ago I came in touch with some guides on this journey and found some ways of opening myself to God's incredible love .... It takes courage to set out on the spiritual journey, but it takes even more courage to accept the responsibility of walking along with another once we have really known the dangers ourselves .... If we find ourselves being called upon to listen to others tell of their religious experiences or asked to be companions for those who find it necessary to go the inner way, we need to prepare ourselves as well as we can .... How do we prepare? The following chapters offer some Suggestions from one who has found him-self cast in this role for a number of years:' Drawing on his many years of experience as a spiritual director and counselor, Morton Kelsey shares in a very personal way his insights on spiritual friendship. From the desert of his own doubt to his discovery of the mystery of Love, Kelsey's personal witness speaks to all of us.
