In Listening to Others, Joyce Huggett explores the art and discipline of deep, respectful listening as a spiritual practice. Rooted in her experience as a priest, retreat leader, and spiritual director, Huggett shows how listening itself can become a channel of healing, understanding, and grace.
The book reflects on:
Why listening is central to Christian love and service
Barriers that prevent us from truly hearing others
Listening in contexts of pastoral care, friendship, and conflict
How attentive listening mirrors God’s way of listening to us
Written with clarity, humility, and pastoral warmth, this is a practical and reflective guide for anyone seeking to relate more faithfully and compassionately to others.
