L'auteur, moine chartreux, détaille les étapes psychologiques et spirituelles - avec les inévitables crises - par lesquelles les croyants doivent passer pour parvenir à la maturité spirituelle. Nouvelle édition d'un ouvrage de référence. Comment parvenir à une véritable maturité affective et spirituelle? À cette question que de nombreux croyants se posent, l'auteur apporte des réponses nourries de son expérience de moine, de formateur de novices et de psychologue.

À travers des thèmes qui concernent chacun - l'estime de soi, la dépendance affective ou la quête de relations authentiques -, ce maître de vie spirituelle aide à se situer dans sa foi et invite à progresser dans l'amour et le don de soi. Avec clarté et compassion, il balise le chemin qui mène à une vie pleinement adulte, libre et responsable.
