November Spiritual Friendship Journal

Please enjoy Touchstone’s November Spiritual Friendship Journal

Spiritual Friendship Journal

Welcome to summer!

And welcome to the first edition of the new Touchstone newsletter.
We hope it will encourage you through shared stories of faith – and doubt – as we journey together on the Way. Read on for a Q and A with a Touchstone friend, a “straight from the heart” peek into the journey of another and discover the way a spiritual friend to many of us is taking that concept into her very own congregation.

You’ll also read howSpiritual Friendships: The Art of Being Friends With God and a Few Others is launching, and how you can be a part of that, directly from the comfort of your own computer screen.

The full newsletter can be read here

Peace,

Norm

Spiritual Friendship Now in Print!

A Special Announcement!

We interrupt this series of Monday Thoughts to let you know that over the past numbers of years Norm has been writing a book and it has now been published!

“Spiritual Friendship, The Art of Being Friends with God and a few Others” is now available for your reading pleasure.

From the back cover:
“The idea of spiritual friendship is ancient.  Yet for many modern Christians, the concept of being vulnerable and transparent with another pilgrim on the way is mysterious and new.  Different from “discipling” another believer-a relationship that implies leader and follower, teacher and student-spiritual friendship is built on equality, mutual trust, accountability and risk-taking by both parties.  Spiritual friendships aren’t easy, but they’re worth it.”
