Questions and Answers About Your Journey to God. By Father Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R.

Father Benedict Groeschel is a priest, psychologist, lecturer, author, and spiritual director. Early in his preaching career, he realized that many Christians seek spiritual directors but have difficulty finding them. So he decided to speak and write on topics that apply to spiritual direction. Questions and Answers About Your Journey to God is one of Father Groeschel's successful attempts to put spiritual direction into a book.

Father Groeschel asks and answers practically all of the many questions people have about the spiritual journey. He discusses in detail the steps of that spiritual journey and how to recognize the stages. He talks about pitfalls, valleys, and peaks of spiritual enlightenment and offers numerous insights into the spiritual life.

Some of the topics discussed are:

• The relationship between psychology and spirituality

• The process of conversion

• Characteristics of beginners

• The importance of prayer

• Addictions and spiritual growth

• Illness and progress in spiritual growth

• Moral conversion

• The signs of mature faith

• Milestones of the Purgative Way

• The relationship of the Purgative Way to Purgatory

• Struggles particular to the Purgative Way

• Spiritual darkness (dark night of the soul)

• Dark night of the senses

• The Illuminative Way

• Joys of the Illuminative Way

• The relationship between forgiveness and spiritual progress

• Doubts

• The action of the Holy Spirit

• Simple Union with God

• Transforming Union with God

• The importance of the Eucharist and of Confession

• The Mass and the spiritual journey
