Confession and Guidance: An Approach
Confession and Guidance is written informally, intentionally. It is not filled with extensive quotes or verses, and is written mostly in first-person voice. The reason for this is that it is meant to reflect what guidance is supposed to be: personal. Something gets lost when some things that are not meant to be academic become academic. It seems important that this book remains casual. With a topic like spiritual guidance, so much is subjective. Speaking formally may cause a wrong sense of being too prescriptive on the one hand, or too presumptuous on the other.
