Description
This important contribution to our understanding of spiritual direction defines mentoring not as a profession, but as a calling and a gift that is more common than perhaps previously thought. Mentoring, says Sellner, is a form of love, a mutual relationship in which one spiritual friend helps another encounter a deeper self and enrich his or her relationship with God.He explores the subject by drawing on his own experiences, the Celtic concept of the soul friend, the letters of C.S. Lewis, and the importance of dreams. With mutuality, reciprocity and friendship, mentoring becomes a form of ministry that is much needed in today's world and church.Readers will recognize their own potential as spiritual mentors and the promises of spiritual kinship. - from Amzon
