Walking Together: Discovering the Catholic Tradition of Spiritual Friendship

 

 

 

Catholic author, journalist, and speaker Mary DeTurris Poust has written a delightfully refreshing, engaging book on nurturing the Catholic tradition of spiritual friendships  in our current culture: Walking Together: Discovering the Catholic Tradition of Spiritual Friendship. Written for a popular audience, she nevertheless puts forth our calling as contemporary Christians to move beyond modern expressions of friendliness and detachment to spiritual friendships centered in the love of God. She notes, "The problem is that despite all our 'favorites' and our 'buddies' out there in the land of plenty, we are hungry for a real connection." I was thrilled to find Francis de Sales was her spiritual mentor for her outlook on spiritual friendships and therefore, this book. While Francis is a recognizable name in Catholic spirituality, many evangelicals are not acquainted with him.
