Mentoring: Biblical, Theological, and Practical Perspectives - Paperback

by Dean K. Thompson (Author), Murchison (Editor), Jill Duffield (Foreword by)

Positive mentoring relationships are held to be essential to the formation of strong Christian leaders--but why? How can theological and biblical insights inform mentoring relationships? And what do these vital relationships look like across a range of Christian experience?

Opening multiple angles of vision on the practice of mentoring, Dean K. Thompson and D. Cameron Murchison here present a group of eminent scholars who explore mentoring from biblical-theological perspectives, within the context of diverse national and international communities, and across generations.
