Description
The pressure of expectations often means that priests fail to care for themselves and neglect their own spiritual life. Christopher Chapman draws on more than thirty years' experience of spiritual direction, as well as his own experience of priesthood, to offer life-giving practices and personal disciplines for spiritual health.
