Mentoring for Ministry: The Grace of Growing Pastors - Paperback

by Craig Thomas Kocher (Editor), Jason Byassee (Editor), James C. Howell (Editor)

The art of mentoring, like all great arts, is a grace to be received, a gift to be given, and a skill that can be learned and practiced. This book explores the practice and grace of that art. The pastors in these pages share their hard-won experience of mentoring and being mentored, their wobbles and successes, insights and wisdom harvested from years in the vineyard.
