On Holy Ground - Guided Prayer: A Handbook and Practical Manual
Anita Woodwell
An essential resource for clergy, ordinands, retreat leaders and all with any kind of pastoral responsibility.

Guided prayer is one of the main tools of spiritual direction and a popular focus for many retreats.

Based on the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola, its aim is to help people make good choices that enable them to live in freedom before God. Prayerful reading of the scriptures and helping to interpret readers' reactions (which can be revealing) are its basic methods.

Prayer guides literally stand on the holy ground of another person's experience of God, and help interpret that experience. This manual offers a complete practical introduction to this vital pastoral skill that clergy and all spiritual directors need. It includes:

The basics of prayer guidance

How to teach others to pray

The art of listening and discernment

Exploration and intervention skills

Strategies for dealing with common difficulties

Resources for prayer guidance
