What is a spiritual friendship? How does a spiritual friendship differ from other kinds of friendship? In Kindred Souls, Stephanie Ford reveals what it truly means to be a spiritual companion. She begins by reexamining the monastic roots of spiritual friendship through our shared tradition with the Roman Catholic Church and presents the unlikely friendship of Ruth and Naomi as a template for spiritual friendship. Kindred Souls gives practical insights on how to deal with real issues concerning spiritual friendships, from overcoming the risk and fear of sharing to learning how to become a faithful listener. Whether you are a novice at such friendships or have enjoyed their benefits for many years, Kindred Souls will offer new insights that will enable and empower you to build and nurture partnerships that will continue to bear fruit throughout your lifetime.
