Dittes speaks, and writes, on many levels simultaneously, and in this deceptively short book, he enables ministers, counselors, even well-meaning friends to develop greater sensitivity to the simultaneous practical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those who seek counsel. And in looking closely at the context for counseling, he offers not a how-to book but more of a broader glimpse of what counseling offers, almost a `why-to.' He invites the reader to let go of the anxieties of fix-it perspectives, instead to explore with curiosity the realms of the sacred unknown to which the journey of counseling takes both counselor and counselee. And he affirms the central loving mystery of the Spirit which grounds the counselor and guides the counselee. A joy to receive, in shorthand, some accumulated wisdom of a masterful teacher and mentor.
