Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“While spiritual companionship is an aspect of every Christian's life-in-community, this volume is the guidebook for those who hear spiritual companionship as a calling, a discipline; it insightfully explores the complexity and hazards of spiritual 'companioning' and describes the intertwining of psychological and spiritual well-being. It offers no 'one-size-fits-all' depiction of spiritual struggle and development; rather, the author examines the impact of race, gender, and culture on the difficult struggle toward spiritual healing and growth.”
