The Art of Spiritual Direction
This is a concrete, practical book about spiritual accompaniment. While there may be no shortage of books on this matter, most of these books remain somewhat abstract in the way they highlight the beauty of this ministry and point out its pitfalls. This book instead resembles a toolbox with a user’s manual. In six chapters, the author presents the following tools: ‘there is no rush’, ‘listening by following’, ‘searching for the soul’, ‘going deeper’, ‘evaluating’, and ‘accompanying towards spiritual maturity’. By means of examples and case studies, he demonstrates how these tools may be used to good effect. Two introductory chapters discuss the choice for a practice-oriented book and the core values of an Ignatian approach to spiritual accompaniment. A final chapter specifically focuses on vocational discernment. New spiritual directors can learn from this book the tricks of the trade and experienced directors can be encouraged to reflect upon their own practice. Although it is written from a Roman Catholic, Jesuit background, this book may be used in a wider variety of Christian contexts.

Dinner mit dem Abt
»Lange dachte ich, ich sei Atheistin, brauche und kenne keinen Gott, will keine Kirche, nichts davon. Aber an irgendetwas Höheres habe ich immer schon geglaubt, ich wollte es nur nicht sehen.« Für Nina Brunetto spielte Religion lange Zeit keine Rolle. Ihre Kindheit und Jugend waren von Vorurteilen vor allem gegenüber der Institution Kirche geprägt, wie sie ihr in ihrem Umfeld und durch die Medien vermittelt wurden. Dennoch begegnen ihr auf ihrem Weg ins Erwachsenenleben immer wieder Menschen und Momente, die sie zum Nachdenken über ein mögliches "Mehr" zwischen Himmel und Erde bringen. Und als sie bei einer Einladung zum Abendessen im großen Kreis unerwartet ihren Platz neben dem Abt findet, wird das Gespräch mit dem Mann des Glaubens zu einem echten Wendepunkt in ihrem Leben. Ein persönliches und ehrliches Buch über den ungewöhnlichen (Um-)Weg einer jungen Frau von der überzeugten Atheistin zur engagierten Christin.

The Destruction of Cultural Heritage in Iraq
Discussion of the issues surrounding the destruction of cultural property in times of conflict has become a key issue for debate around the world. This book provides an historical statement as of 1st March 2006 concerning the destruction of the cultural heritage in Iraq. In a series of chapters it outlines the personal stories of a number of individuals who were - and in most cases continue to be - involved. These individuals are involved at all levels, and come from various points along the political spectrum, giving a rounded and balanced perspective so easily lost in single authored reports. It also provides the first views written by Iraqis on the situation of archaeology in Iraq under S...
