Finding a Spiritual Friend: How Friends and Mentors can Make your Faith Grow

Independence is so prized in our society that 70 percent of Americans say they have few close friends. Yet people are built for companionship, and community is a crucial aspect of the Christian faith. Jones takes a fresh look at the centuries-old tradition of spiritual friends who guide, support, and encourage one another. Quotations from classical spiritual writers and sketches of biblical friends and mentors accompany the author's personal perspective. Reflection questions help readers think more deeply about finding and developing God-centered friendships.
