Eugene H. Peterson, 1989, The Contemplative
Pastor: Returning to the art of spiritual direction, Grand Rapids,
MI: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company
This book should be read concurrently with his
memoirs, The Pastor (2011). Peterson’s thesis that pastoral work
is spiritual direction is like a breath of fresh air in the numerous
books on spiritual direction which focus on techniques and processes.
Here, Petersen defines pastoral work as spiritual direction which is
also known as soul care.
Increasingly, I find that many of my patients' parents have googled their
children's problems before bringing them to see me in my clinic. Gradually,
I have been eased from being the first and primary source of healthcare
information by Dr Google. Should I be concerned?
