Summary: Our journeys are unique, and as we get older we should be better able to help shape the following generations using our gifts and experience, but past failures, pride, insecurity etc in a fragmented Western culture that prizes individualism have helped create seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Reliance on programs and the professionalization of ministry have tended to hinder more natural connections between the generations.

By reading this you will:

1. Gain a better understanding of the history of mentoring, and its biblical basis.

2. Better appreciate typical hindrances to effective mentoring.

3. Consider biblical characters who mentored others, and how they point us to Christ.

4. Gain clarity regarding your own unique skills, interests and knowledge.

5. Understand the components essential to a solid mentoring relationship.

6. Recognize how you can start to invest practically in young adults, and put yourself at God's disposal to help them.

Reviews for Mentoring Ministry

[Bernard Sia · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Need to be structured Better. Alot of "don't" advice versus do.

Short, sweet and to the point. It’s not exhaustive or a how-to manual on mentoring by any means, but it’s a great reminder that discipleship and mentoring is how we are to do church together. Whether pairing up with those who are younger (as is the primary relationship covered in the book) or simply someone who is younger in the faith as you, we are all to walk together in our goal to be more like Jesus.
