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 also gives practical advice on the nuts and bolts of program design and implementation. In the course of their discussion, Caroline Simon and her coauthors address such important issues as countering 'missional amnesia,' assessing the effect of an institution's 'demographic of ownership' on mentoring, and carrying out a mandate to pass on the torch of institutional mission while taking into account the particular growing edges of new faculty.
