Mentoring For Mission
$18.50
Informed by the extensive experience of faculty and administrators, both Roman Catholic and Protestant, who have designed and implemented mentoring programs at their institutions, “Mentoring for Mission” is the only book on mentoring that focuses specifically on nurturing new faculty at church-related colleges and universities.
Offering a theology of mentoring grounded in the scriptures and Christian tradition, the book examines such topics as Christian views of personhood, the role of Christian virtues in mentoring, the value of mentoring in discerning one’s particular calling as a teacher and a scholar, and how different emphases of particular Christian traditions shape mentoring at schools founded by different religious bodies. The authors offer practical advice on the nuts and bolts of program design and implementation, on problem-solving for ongoing mentoring programs, and on sustaining an institutional vision as a mentoring community while meeting the daily challenges of institutional life.
“Mentoring for Mission” is necessary reading both for those already involved in administering faculty development programs and for those seeking sound advice on how to design and implement such a program at their own schools.

Treasures Old and New offers a modern approach to traditional prayers. It increases the understanding that praying is a way to thank God for your life and all His many blessings. These litanies, prayers, and novenas give readers the words to use to converse with God both internally and externally. Praying is participating and offering gratitude to God, and we are reminded that our Lord will not force a blessing upon us–receive and give thanks.
Gratitude prepares the soul for humility, and humility makes prayer come more easily. The more we rest and work and play in prayer, the more we come to live the Word of God in thanksgiving.
