Published on the eve of the Synod on Young People, Faith and Vocational Discernment, and in the light of our Strenna on the art of listening and accompaniment, the latest book from Don Bosco Publications guides the reader through the needs, challenges and opportunities of accompanying the young in a Salesian way.

Both our patron, St Francis de Sales, and Don Bosco, our founder, were renowned spiritual directors, and the book begins with an exploration of St Francis's approach to the role. Times have changed, however, and the articles address the specifics of modern life for young people in a post-modern, increasingly secular and multi-religious world.

Edited by Fabio Attard SDB, General Councillor for Youth Ministry, and Miguel Angel Garcia SDB, this is an essential tool for anyone walking with the young on their journey of spiritual development and discernment.
