"Very little of what we do in life has lasting results. By coming alongside people through soul mentoring, we may discover the joy of being in touch with what is truly beautiful, artisitic, and lasting: the soul of another person on life's journey." (from the preface of Soul Mentoring)
Soul Mentoring draws upon the wisdom of Gregory the Great (540–604) from his Pastoral Care, one of the most widely read books on mentoring from the ancient world. Those who walk in Gregory’s steps will discover practical guidance for the journey into mentoring, including the formation of a mentor’s soul, and wisdom in learning to care for others. Gregory describes mentoring as the “art of arts,” the highest creative endeavor we share together. Gregory has ancient wisdom applicable to mentoring in our time, both for mentors and mentees, friends and family, coaches and teachers, clergy and spiritual directors, among other people looking for guidance in the ancient art of caring for souls.
Professional Reviews
Mark Labberton, President, Fuller Theological Seminary
“Robinson has again taken us down a pathway of spiritual practices that is both grounded in the rich tradition of the church while being urgently valuable
to a spiritually thirsty contemporary church. Read, drink deeply, and live and love generously.”
Dennis Okholm, Professor of Theology, Azusa Pacific University
“I wish I had had Robinson’s Soul Mentoring when I introduced graduate psychology students to Gregory’s On Pastoral Care in years past. . . . Robinson’s book is insightful,
engaging, and eminently practical for those who want to learn how to care for the ‘souls’ of others, while taking stock of their own spiritual lives in the process.”
Laura Swan, Benedictine Sister, Saint Martin's University
“Soul Mentoring is a wonderful resource for seekers who want to deepen their relationship with the divine through their relationship with each other: as mentors and as
the mentored. . . . The writing is clear and poetic. I am delighted that David Robinson is bringing this all-but-forgotten classic text to our current generation.”
