Robyn Wrigley-Carr\'s fascinating original research reveals the great influence of Baron Friedrich von H gel to whom, Evelyn wrote, \'I owe my Spiritual life\'.
At the heart of the book is the idea of a \'long obedience in the same direction\': Underhill\'s life had purpose and meaning as a result of the Baron\'s Spiritual direction and the soul care she herself tirelessly bestowed on others..
Understanding the nurture, she received from this man (who had no less influence on Eugene Peterson) prepares the way for an exploration of Evelyn\'s \'motherhood of souls\', her advice to others involved in this ministry, and her pioneering work in the conducting of retreats.
