In Short-Term Spiritual Guidance, Duane Bidwell. . . offers several specific interventions that the reader can use when caring for the spiritual life. He not only makes the point that, historically, most spirit care is brief but also goes on to suggest how brief spiritual care can be done. He provides a way that ministers and concerned laypersons can offer spiritual direction that honors the person, recognizes the context of how the care is offered 'on the run, ' and stays true to the historical direction has been offered. I think you will find his specific suggestions for how to go about care, and this specific intervention involved, very beneficial. --Howard W. Stone, professor emeritus of psychology and pastoral counseling at Brite Divinity School, Texas Christian University
