This week, I will begin a series of posts profiling my Christian spiritual mentors. These are people who have, through their writing, life, or art have influenced the way I approach and view God. I do this so that you might begin to recognize those people in your life who have had the most meaningful impact on the way you live your Christian life. I also hope that I will begin to understand what it takes to influence another person so that they can grow closer to Jesus. Here is the list of my Spiritual Mentors:
David Leyerle
Michael Roe
Frederick Buechner
Dallas Willard
Each profile will include information about the person but will also list what I learned from them and what others could learn from them as well.
