Description

Keith R. Anderson unfolds a vision for spiritual mentoring in Reading Your Life's Story. Spiritual mentoring, Anderson explains, is as a particular kind of friendship in which "two or more people walk together in heightened awareness of the presence of yet Another"—the Holy Spirit.

This book unfolds a vision for mentoring that invites us to read our own lives as narrative and to learn how to enter the narrative of another life. It covers the scope of the mentoring relationship through various seasons and offers helpful and inspiring metaphors for mentoring.

Advance Praise

"By applying the art and science of mentoring relationships to the canvas of spiritual formation, Keith Anderson invites us to see and hear, through the senses and heart of listener and reader, the story that God is writing in each life. Keith understands that spiritual mentoring brings mentor and mentee into the presence of God at work in both lives—two people observing together the movement of the Spirit around them. This important book invites, inspires, and instructs mentor and mentee alike."
