Description
A Helpful Guide to Mentoring Relationships
"Melissa Kruger helps both the mentor and the mentee know where to start, what to cover, and how to make it work so that the mentoring relationship is a source of joy and growth for everyone involved."
-Nancy Guthrie, Bible teacher; author, Even Better than Eden: Nine Ways the Bible's Story Changes Everything about Your Story
We need one another. Yet we don't always know how to develop relationships that help us grow in the Christian life. Spiritual mentoring offers a way for younger believers and more mature Christians to grow together through intentional discipleship and accountability. If you're looking for a place to start, Melissa Kruger presents a guide for discipleship conversations that span a variety of topics for spiritual growth. Each lesson encourages both mentor and mentee to focus on the hope of the gospel as they learn together from the truth of God's word.
Published in partnership with the Gospel Coalition.
Includes 11 lessons that women can use in a variety of schedules and life stages
Each chapter teaches what the Bible says about the topic, explores why we struggle to follow God's teaching, and considers how we should live in light of the truth
Features activities and questions for before, during, and after the sessions
Concludes with an appendix with further reading on each topic outlined in the lessons
