Opis

This book explains the process of spiritual guidance, encourages us to seek it out, and helps prepare those who feel called to become spiritual guides. Drawing from their personal and professional experience, as well as a rich array of traditional Jewish sources, Dr. Carol Ochs and Rabbi Kerry M. Olitzky explore what Judaism has to say about the spiritual journey and the ways in which spiritual guidance can help us open more fully to God's presence in our lives. Using the Book of Exodus, the Song of Songs, and the psalms as roadmaps-and sharing stories of contemporary Jews engaged in their own spiritual explorations-Ochs and Olitzky explore prayer as a relationship with God, listening as a key to recognizing all that is holy, and discernment as a way to distinguish the real from the apparent. The hardcover edition of "Jewish Spiritual Guidance" was first published in 1997 by Jossey Bass.
