Contents:

The mentoring matrix -- Who mentored Augustine? -- Augustine's approach to mentoring -- Augustine's thoughts on mentoring -- Shepherding shepherds today.

Subject: Lauded for his thoughts, Augustine of Hippo (354-430) has influenced virtually every philosopher of the last fifteen hundred years. But his personal character and ministry are even more remarkable, for, in a time when most monastery dwellers sought solitude, Augustine was always in the company of friends, visiting disciples and writing mentoring letters to those he knew. Augustine as Mentor is written for modern-day pastors and spiritual leaders who want to mentor and equip other evangelical Christians based on proven principles in matters of the heart like integrity, humility, faithfulness, personal holiness, spiritual hunger, and service to others. Author Ed Smither explains, "Augustine has something to offer modern ministers pursuing authenticity and longing to 'preach what they practice.' Through his thought, practice, success, and even failures, my hope is that today's mentors will find hope, inspiration, and practical suggestions for how to mentor an emerging generation of spiritual leaders." https://www.amazon.com/Augustine-Mentor-Preparing-Spiritual-Leaders/dp/0805447075/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=9780805447071&qid=1565036970&s=gateway&sr=8-1
