Engage: A Theological Field Education Toolkit
Theological field education, in which a ministry student steps out of the classroom and begins practicing with the supervision of a mentor, is a critical part of accredited ministry programs. Engage equips both students and their supervisor-mentors to engage in this important opportunity with energy and imagination, and it prepares students for the challenging work of integrating theory into real-world practice.
Engage provides coaching from recognized experts in the arts of preaching, administration, evangelism, pastoral care, public ministry, leadership, faith formation, liturgical arts and more. Other chapters address themes such as race, gender, and ministry across faith traditions (or no faith tradition). The book addresses field education in a range of contexts--from churches to non-profits.
Engage offers a valuable resource for students making the most of their transition from the classroom into real world ministry with all its joys and many challenges.

This is a good, helpful resource—especially for those just entering the ministry field as an intern. The broad strokes this book paints is both a strength and a weakness. The broadness lends itself well to covering a plethora of contexts from a variety of contributors. However, the broadness does not allow for much depth beyond introduction and simple tips.
Overall, this is good and I would recommend (some, not all) this book to someone entering an internship.

Definitely a great tool to pick up in starting mentoring relationships in ministry! LOVED the different voices that came into each chapter. so important! only critique would be certain points seemed irrelevant or outside the scope of a ministry-specific calling. I didn't love how aggressively gears shifted in the last few chapters. helpful points 100% but interesting perspectives for a book heavily focused on theology
