Spiritual Mentoring
I just realized that I stopped at chapter three of this book, which is a good book on Spiritual Mentoring from a Christian (or 2 authors combined actually!) point of view (I was surprised after I "googled" and found out how New Age and so called self-proclaimed "pagans" are using the term as their own)
Here's their definition of spiritual mentoring:
"Spiritual mentoring is a triadic relationship between mentor, mentoree and the Holy Spirit, where the mentoree can discover, through the already present action of God, intimacy with God, ultimate identity as a child of God and a unique voice for kingdom responsibility."
The Big three questions have helped me a lot:
1. Who is God?
2. Who am I?
3. What am I to do with my life?
All this sparked by a young friends question at the discussion forum on "What do you think of spiritual mentoring?" which has some replies already.

I especially like the sense of helping to find a "unique voice for kingdom responsibility" It's always refreshing to have a focus on kingdom responsibilities rather than exclusively on kingdom or salvic rights. It's a good book, and one which I have in my library too.
