Edward C. Sellner

This book evokes the essential role of mentoring in the journey toward wholeness as the author tries to give ordinary people confidence in their own ability to be a sole friend to another.

Edward Sellner mines the deep wisdom of many traditions and demonstrates how relationships of mentoring, rooted and grounded in the love of Christ, can forge fast friendship, heal wounds from the past, and bring about the Reign of God.

This collection of stories about Irish, Welsh, Scottish, and English saints is rich with insights about what made this tradition so valuable: the life of prayer, a deep communion with God in the Creation, and an intense honesty with God the Holy Trinity.

Famous, as well as little known, people are found in these pages, each with a story to tell. It makes excellent reading, especially on a crisp autumn evening.

A marvelous book which examines the meaning of pilgrimages in the spiritual life. Beginning with the history of pilgrimages, the author gives us an understanding of what makes travel sacred. Offering practical advice on making a pilgrimage, Sellner also adds two appendices: one on 40 famous pilgrims and the other on 40 famous holy places.
