Editorial Review:
This self-study manual is ideal for small groups or individual study. It describes the nine types of mentoring influences (discipling, spiritual guidance, coaching, counseling, teaching, sponsoring, contemporary modeling, historical modeling, and divine contacts) in detail in terms of the five major mentoring dynamics (attraction, relationship, responsiveness, accountability, empowerment). Mentoring is an informal training model, which can fit well in parachurch and church organizations to help other individuals develop. This detailed manual supplements in comprehensive detail the book Connecting done by Clinton and Stanley.
