What does it mean to be a spiritual friend? How can we mentor those with questions of faith? This is a comprehensive introduction to spiritual mentoring from a UK author with international experience of leading retreats, speaking and writing in this area. As well as exploring the biblical basis for spiritual mentoring and its role in church history, a helpful appendix also gives demonstrations and exercises for a mentoring context, helping you to practically implement a spiritual mentoring programme. Using the idea of journeying together, Tony Horsfall looks at what it means to be a spiritual friend, the qualities and skills needed, key issues and insights, the goals of mentoring, and mentoring those with questions of faith.
This book is excellent!! Written with so much wisdom, gentleness and practical spiritual exercises, I learnt so much about mentoring from this book. I’d recommend for people in any capacity of spiritual friendship or mentoring.
