Empower: A Guide for Supervisor-Mentors in Theological Field Education

Empower is a toolkit for mentors working with beginning ministers.

Chapters from ministry practitioners and field education program directors offer lessons gained through hundreds of hours of mentoring experience. Seasoned practitioners reveal how to do the work of mentoring in ways that are "fitting" to the particular needs of students with whom they have worked.

This volume, then, is not a cookbook or a manual. It is itself a mentoring guide to those who wish to deepen and expand the craft of mentoring. Its goal is to meet ministry mentors in their journey towards skillful mentoring, and to provide guidance and support to help them hone their craft.
