Synopsis:

Spiritual direction is an ancient art of being with another person in relationship with God. As we struggle in the church to develop meaningful and lasting relationships, this spiritual practice has much to offer us.

Don’t just LEAD a small group, DIRECT it.

Members of your small group look to you for answers. They bring their raw questions and intimate needs to you, looking for wisdom and understanding. How can you encourage your group to consider the Holy Spirit’s voice?

“Spiritual direction is an ancient art of being with another person in relationship with God,” writes author Heather Webb. This time-tested practice requires that you remain attentive and open to divine interactions you might otherwise miss. Field-tested through the author’s years of experience, Small Group Leadership as Spiritual Direction will help you:

- Avoid common small-group pitfalls
- Take on difficult questions
- Speak God’s words into others’ lives
- Deepen your group’s desire for God

The exciting discipline of spiritual direction allows you to create a space in which the Holy Spirit can move among your group. As you begin to discern
Christ’s call in the lives of others, you will see your ministry with a new perspective and uncover new ways to direct your group, not just lead it.
