"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.

Although the sixth-century Rule of St. Benedict has primarily been applied to monastic life and was originally written for the monastic situation can it also pertain to families? Absolutely, says David Robinson, a Presbyterian minister and father of three. In The Christian Family Toolbox: 52 Benedictine Activities for the Home, Robinson applies principles from the Rule to the oft-chaotic norms of family living. "At the heart of Benedictine wisdom we find a family cloister," he notes, offering specific suggestions for communal prayer, mutual work and a ministry of hospitality. | |  | | The Family Cloister
