The Fine Art of Mentoring: Passing On To Others What God Has Given To You
The Fine Art of Mentoring Passing On To Others What God Has Given To You Author:Norman B. Rohrer Mentoring used to be the chief learning method in society, where an apprentice spent years at the side of the craftsman, learning not only the mechanics of a function, but the "way of life" which surrounded it. — The good news is that more than a few are waking up to the fact that we have lost something precious in our culture because t... more »he mentoring function has been permitted to lapse into semi-obsolescence. There is a renewal of reference to mentoring in the business literature, the world of education, and in social work. And that new alertness has been in evidence, of course, in the Christ-following community also.
It's fitting for Ted Engstrom to write this book because of at least two things. First, he has done the mentoring he writes about. Men and women all over the world will gladly and thankfully attest to that. And secondly, he writes from the perspective of a generation which is in the process of handing its work over to its successors.
The mentoring leader (and that is what Ted Engstrom has been) is a scarce human commodity. So I commend to you the thoughts of one of those wonderful rarities: a Christ-like man who has produced Christ-like proteges.
