‘And Saul’s son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God.’ Jonathan’s support of his friend David takes us to the heart of the Biblical ministry of mentoring. Mentoring is the intentional investing in the spiritual lives of our fellow believers.
Having served as the first Principal of what has become the Union School of Theology, and now serving as a Research Supervisor, Dr Davies draws on a wealth of ministry experience. Having defined what mentoring is – not quite counselling on the one hand or coaching on the other – and what it looks like in practice, he goes on to show how both the Lord Jesus and the Apostle Paul model the practice of investing in the lives of others.
