Developing a mentoring movement
~ Written on Jan 28, 2007. 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.

I work in Brazil catalyzing a movement of mentoring pastors with the intent that they in turn will mentor their principal leaders. Hendricks book was recently published in Brazil. I gave a copy to each member of my executive team and other key leaders who work with me. It is the most practical tool I have yet found, both for those wanting to be mentored as well as those wanting to mentor. This book has done more to provoke, challenge and channel my thinking and practice of mentoring than any other book. I hope that those who read it will find themselves not just finding and improving mentoring relationships, but also spreading a mentoring movement, both inside and outside the church. We need mentors in our churches and we need them in the marketplace.

The Marvel of Mentoring
~ Written on Apr 26, 2003. 17 out of 17 users found this review helpful.

I have yet to be disappointed with anything written by Howard Hendricks. In this book, he does a superb job of presenting the tremendous worth and transforming power of a mentoring relationship between two men. While these principles would also apply to a woman-to-woman relationship, Hendricks is writing to provide support for the Christian men's movement "Promise Keepers."

There are two sections to this work: how to find a mentor, and how to be a mentor. Hendricks emphasizes there are many more men seeking mentors than there are men who are willing to be mentors. He discourages actually using the title of "mentor" when establishing such a supportive relationship, for fear it will intimate one of the parties. Instead, he promotes referring to the interaction as what would occur between two friends. Hendricks also describes how to spot a mentor or a protégé, then how to avoid common pitfalls of such an arrangement.

For anyone seeking to learn from a respected male friend, or for someone seeking to invest his life-lessons of experience in a younger man, this book is simply invaluable.

Prov 27:17
17 As iron sharpens iron,
So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend
NKJV

Here, we have the example of keeping our friends in the light of God and this book elaborates on it. Discipleship is the key to good fruit in our life.
I am sure many of you know discipleship from the New Testament but do you realize it is as old as Time? God wanted to disciple Adam and Eve and in return, they would disciple the World. This book relates specifically to the "Men" doing the discipling.
I was pleased to see how much my life and Ministry changed after reading this book and listening to the voice of the Spirit of Truth. If you are a man in need of a closer walk, pick up a copy of this book and see if you too will be changed.
