Walking Together: Discovering the Catholic Tradition of Spiritual Friendship Book

This is an informative topical treatment of the concept of spiritual Friendship. The book is divided into 10 chapters of equal lengths, each of which ends with three study questions (which did not engage me) and a meditation. While the book kept me in my head and not my heart, I did find some useful material for blog posts and several interesting pieces on saints who were spiritual soul mates. Although not mentioned in the book, I believe St. Pope John Paul II had such a platonic spiritual friendship with a woman whom his staff discouraged from visiting His Excellency, but whom St. Pope John Pual told to come right through the door and stay for dinner.

The last chapter on pilgrimmages with a subtitled section, Approaching Life with a Pilgrim Heart, provided fodder for a piece I'm writing, so I found it to have value, although a dry read overall.
