Eleanor Shepherd

Eleanor Shepherd spent thirty years in ministry after ordination as an officer of The Salvation Army. Along with her engagement in pastoral ministry and administration, she has contributed over 95 articles, mainly to Salvation Army publications. These were distributed in a variety of periodicals in Canada, the USA, France, Germany and New Zealand.

Her degree in Psychology equipped her for learning the listening skills that she uses in spiritual accompaniment relationships. A venue where she has been able to apply them is in the leadership of College and Careers Bible study groups. She undertook this leadership in Montreal and Toronto along with Glen, her husband of forty years, also a Salvation Army officer. One of these experiences led to the conversion of a young Muslim and Eleanor shares some of his story in More Questions than Answers.

This book won The Word Guild 2011 Award in the Christian Leadership category.
