Probably every Christian who has led others through a crisis or rallied for a controversial issue knows what it's like to stand alone. For such times, as well as calmer ones, Spiritual Counsel in the Anglican Tradition offers friendship with wise counselors. Their deep familiarity with the vagaries of the spiritual life carries the reader from struggle to enlightened companionship with God in Jesus Christ, and to a wonderful, existentially felt participation in the Communion of Saints. -Elisabeth Koenig, Professor of Ascetical Theology - The General Theological Seminary These pieces of thoughtful holiness touch all sides of the life of faith and will help those who use them carry divine wisdom into living practice. We owe David Hein and Charles Henery much gratitude for sifting several centuries of Anglican faith for these gems. I will use this volume for the rest of my life. -Edward Henderson, Jaak Seynaeve Professor of Christian Studies - Louisiana State University David Hein with Charles R. Henery have put together extracts from the writings of fifty authors of mainly an Anglican background...There is a short biography of every author which is very helpful in assessing the contribution...The book seeks to reflect the 'Anglican tradition of spiritual reflection' with emphasis on spiritual responsibility and the use of the mind...an interesting book and one never knows what golden nugget may be forthcoming in the lucky dip. David Streater in 'Churchman', Autumn 2011 'This book reaches into the treasury of Anglican spirituality and draws out pearls of wisdom for today's needs...Spiritual Counsel in the Anglican Tradition offers earnest, practical devotion to inspire and to instruct the Christian pilgrim in the path of discipleship...This is a book that takes seriously the Anglican emphasis on a form of religion that quickens the mind, forms the conscience, guides the will, and lifts the spirit.' Henk Rutten in 'Studies in Spirituality', volume 20.
