Reflected Love: Companioning in the way of Jesus (Brown)
By bringing four contemporary companioning narratives into dialogue with gospel descriptions of Jesus' encounters with people, this book demonstrates how wonderfully diverse interpersonal ministry-pastoral care, counselling, chaplaincy, mentoring, spiritual companioning, and spiritual direction-is active participation in his shepherding, healing, restorative, and guiding purposes. Jesus' invitation, as the true shepherd, master guide, and companion, is to embody and reflect his humble, life-giving, and restorative dynamic.
