2016 IVP Readers' Choice Award "Biblical spirituality . . . asserts
that God is not done with the business of revelation and creation
but instead continues to have something to say and something yet to
be accomplished in the very culture that isn't sure if God is done
speaking." So begins Keith Anderson as he invites us on a journey
to relearn how to listen. "My claim is simple: spirituality is
grounded in ordinary life experiences. We need to learn to listen
to rhythms of life, narratives and creation." Rather than settling
for a one-sided relationship with God in which we speak but never
hear back, we can learn to hear God as we go through our lives. The
key is paying attention to the moments that make up our days. As we
participate in the world around us, God speaks to us through
creation, through the stories we tell, through our pain and as we
follow God down unexpected pathways. Learning to listen doesn't
happen in ten easy steps. Instead it is a process of approaching
the world with wonder and curiosity as we seek to make sense of
what we hear. Hearing God speak takes time and practice, and
Anderson offers reflective exercises at the end of each chapter to
help us along the way. Listen-and step into a world alive with
God's presence.
Spiritual mentoring is a particular kind of friendship in which,
according to Keith R. Anderson, "two or more people walk together
in heightened awareness of the presence of yet Another"-the Holy
Spirit. "Spiritual mentoring is not a complicated process that
requires technical training and complex protocol," Anderson
continues. "It is essential, authentic, and maybe even natural
human speech that is focused, disciplined and nurtured by training
for one of the hardest natural things we do: listening reflectively
to another. It is sacred companionship as life is lived and story
told. Available to almost all, it requires deliberate recruitment,
preparation and practice." These pages unfold 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. The book covers
the scope of the mentoring relationship through various seasons,
offering helpful and inspiring metaphors for mentoring. All are
invited to enter the mentoring story.
