Download or read book The Spiritual Mentor written by Jim Grassi and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is nothing more fundamental to the Christian faith and to building godly men than discipleship. In today’s vernacular, discipleship would best be described as “Spiritual Mentoring.” Why are discipleship and mentoring so important? How does discipleship connect to the struggles men face today? Discipleship is a relational process that requires people to become actively involved in their faith. Devoted and active men can change the direction of our culture. Most importantly, God has commanded men to be the leaders in the home, church, and community. Authentic discipleship is about developing a caring concern and a genuine love for others through modeling Christ-like attitudes and behavior in the context of relational environments. A fresh approach is needed to define, implement, and equip men with a passion to make disciples. It starts with relationship. Because it all starts with the individual, we must see one-on-one discipleship as the primary objective to begin the revolution. The Spiritual Mentor will explain how men can rescue their faith and how spiritual mentors must play a critical role in bringing the church back to its original purpose. Features include: Metaphors, anecdotes, and practical applications Practical tools for becoming a spiritual mentor Discussion questions Dr. Jim Grassi has captured the essence of what is happening today with men in the church and defined logical and practical steps to get back on course of men gaining a closer relationship with God in the mentoring and discipleship process. Dr. Grassi illustrates "the how to" thru practical examples of situations we all know and can relate. Dr. Grassi sets the tone for a modern day Haggai in being strong and staying courageous, putting in the effort by serving and working at the process, and lastly knowing that God never leaves your side and is always with you. This book is a must read and must have for reference of every men's ministry leader. - Darrel Billups, NCMM, Executive Director Our men’s small group just finished reading and discussing The Spiritual Mentor. We found the book to be challenging, informative and very practical. The stories and illustrations are captivating, giving insight into principles and techniques of discipleship. As fathers and grandfathers, we want to first be a positive influence on our families and then on others with whom we come in contact. This book has raised the level of our awareness of the responsibility and opportunity to serve God in fulfilling the most important directive given us by our Lord: to make disciples. Thank you for sharing your insight and experiences with us. - Norman Thomas, Administrative Pastor, Valley Assembly

Download or read book Augustine as Mentor written by Edward L. Smither and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lauded for his thoughts, Augustine of Hippo (354-430) has influenced virtually every philosopher of the last fifteen hundred years. But his personal character and ministry are even more remarkable, for in a time when most monastery dwellers sought solitude, Augustine was always in the company of friends, visiting disciples and writing mentoring letters to those he knew. Augustine as Mentor is written for modern day pastors and spiritual leaders who want to mentor and equip other evangelical Christians based on proven principles in matters of the heart like integrity, humility, faithfulness, personal holiness, spiritual hunger, and service to others. Author Ed Smither explains, “Augustine has something to offer modern ministers pursuing authenticity and longing to ‘preach what they practice.’ Through his thought, practice, success, and even failures, my hope is that today’s mentors will find hope, inspiration, and practical suggestions for how to mentor an emerging generation of spiritual leaders.”

Download or read book Mentoring His Way Mentor s Guide Volume 1 written by Roy L. Comstock and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-24 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentor's Guide - Description This is the Mentor's Guide for the first of a three-volume series called, Mentoring His Way - Disciple Twelve based on the "Twelve Characteristics of a Godly Life." In this first book, we learn about the four "Spiritual Characteristics of a Godly Life." I am a Believer: I know Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior The first characteristic of a Godly life is about your assurance of knowing Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. To conform to the image of Christ, you need to have no doubts that He is in your life and that you are assured of your relationship with Him and that you have eternal life. I am Empowered: I am controlled and empowered by the Holy Spirit The second spiritual characteristic of a Godly life is understanding the power we have available to live the Christian life. Each day we choose to gratify the desires of the flesh or the will of the Spirit. Our spirit is satisfied only when we are totally surrendered to the control of God the Holy Spirit. I am Victorious: I have Christ's authority over all the enemy's power The third spiritual characteristic of a Godly life is to apply Christ's power over Satan. People struggle with temptation every day. We can have real victory over sin by exercising Christ's authority over all of Satan's influence. Because we have Christ in us, He gives us the power and authority over the enemy to stop his attacks. I am a Warrior: I put on all of God's armor in order to defeat Satan The fourth spiritual characteristic of a Godly life is learning how to put on the full armor of God for warfare against the enemy. God promised a way to keep temptation from becoming so strong that we could not stand up against it. He gave us six pieces of armor and instructions for their use. This gives Christians the ability to walk in the Spirit instead of walking in the flesh. Volume Two covers the "Personal Characteristics of a Godly Life." Volume Three covers the "Lifestyle Characteristics of a Godly Life."
Download or read book Jesus My Mentor written by John L Kater Jr and published by Chalice Press. This book was released on 2004-12-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus, My Mentor is about the spirituality of Jesus, how Jesus lived with God as described in the gospels, and how Jesus' way of relating to God and the world can be a positive and satisfying spirituality for us today. A spirituality modeled by Jesus offers us a way of coming to know the God of Jesus, not as a frightening or distant deity, but the God who opens a way when there seems to be no way, who is at home in the world we call home, and who welcomes us back whenever we are lost. With Jesus as mentor and guide, Kater takes readers on a modern pilgrimage to understand the good news as Jesus knew it. He explores the stories, parables, and prayers of the gospels in the context of their time and their message for us today. He seeks to dispel some popular misconceptions about the Christian understanding of God and the world, and shows us that Jesus' understanding is both easily visible and an attractive alternative. Focusing on how Jesus approached God and shared his understanding with others, Kater emphasizes Jesus' passion for life and the importance of hope and commitment for living fully. The spirituality of Jesus is not hopelessly out of date, but continues to offer a vision of life with a loving God that gives hope and meaning to us as it did to Jesus and his friends. When we let Jesus be our mentor, we do not find God in our solitude, but in community with one another.
