The Divine breaks through into human experience in many ways, and humans respond variously to the awesome experience of God.\" And those various responses are what the contributors to\u003ci\u003e Tending the Holy \u003c\/i\u003edocument. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this provocative and cutting-edge collection readers are given the opportunity to see what spiritual direction looks like--and what questions are asked--through a variety of lenses. From an examination of the spiritual direction relationship in the Evangelical Christian tradition, to Buddhism and Hindu ones, to the better-known ones of the Benedictines, Carmelites, and Ignatians, and finally, to the contemporary lenses of feminism, Generation X, the institutional perspective, and even one based on the natural world and the spirituality of St. Francis, this collection explores unexplored territory. \u003ci\u003eTending the Holy\u003c\/i\u003e is an important resource for spiritual directors and pastoral counselors.\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors include: \u003c\/b\u003e Shaykha Fariha al-Jerrahi (New York); Ven.
