Leech, Kenneth. Soul Friend: A Study of Spirituality. London, Sheldon Press, 1980. 13.5 x 21.5cm. 250 pages. Original softcover. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear.

In 1977, Kenneth Leech wrote the book Soul Friend, which quickly became one of the classic contemporary explorations of the Christian practice of spiritual direction. Leech’s scholarly, yet accessible, exploration examines the climate in which spiritual direction takes place today-the influence of the drug culture of the 1960’s, Eastern influences on prayer and spiritual practice, the Pentecostal movement, and others. He then provides background on the history of spiritual direction, both Protestant and Catholic, from the earliest Church through the twentieth century. An excellent course book, and a fascinating book for those contemplating direction, Soul Friend will continue to be a classic for years to come. [From jacket notes to 2001 re-issue]
