Connecting: The Mentoring Connections
by Paul D. Stanley and J. Robert Clinton
This book explains how we were meant for each other. None of us are fully equipped to excel in life. Our weaknesses, blind spots, limited capabilities and lack of experience all point to one thing -- interdependence. Which is why connecting with others plays such an indispensable role in healthy development. Having access to the wisdom, experience, vision, and direction of those who have gone before can put you years ahead of where you'd be on your own. So why don't we place more of a priority on developing these essential, empowering relationships? Stanley and Clinton say the main reason we miss out is that we simply don't understand the true nature of mentoring-a problem that is easily overcome.

Everyone should have a mentor. Despite our best intentions to live lives of purpose, purity and significance, we are handicapped if we lack the input and influence of someone who has gone before us.
Now that apprenticeships, committed fathers, intergenerational church settings and extended family gatherings are becoming endangered species, the timeless tradition of transferring wisdom from one generation to the next — especially among men — has been severely curtailed. We need mentors like never before — for input and direction on our relationships, our work, our calling.
We want to help you experience the power of mentoring. In addition to helping you formalize a mentoring relationship, we're collecting a growing number of mentor interviews. May they challenge you and encourage you in your personal mentoring relationships. |
