Spiritual Companionship: Walking Each Other Home

Image
  Spiritual companionship is not about fixing, advising, or converting. It’s about presence. It’s the quiet art of walking alongside someone as they explore their inner life—without judgment, without agenda, and without rushing the journey. In a world that often prizes speed and certainty, spiritual companionship offers something radical: stillness, listening, and shared mystery. 🕊️ What Is a Spiritual Companion? A spiritual companion is someone who: Listens deeply, without trying to solve. Honors your questions more than your answers. Holds space for your grief, joy, doubt, and wonder. Reminds you that you are not alone.

  Recently,  An Afternoon's Dictation  (Greenebaum), reached #55 on the Amazon bestseller list of books in ecumenism Christian theology, #170 in Christian ecumenism; and #215 in faith & spirituality. The book has been on bestseller lists many times.  Book Description:  In 1999 Steven Greenebaum felt he'd hit the wall. Fifty years old, he could not make sense of his life or the world around him. For several months he angrily demanded answers from God, if God were there. One afternoon, an inner voice told him to get a pen and paper and write. Steven then took dictation - three pages, not of commandments but guidance for leading a meaningful life.   An Afternoon's Dictation  grapples with, organizes, and deeply explores the revelations Steven received and then studied for over ten years. His sharing is NOT offered as the only possible way to understand it the dictation. It is offered, rather, as a start. The book's sections include deep explorations i...
