Hott Review:
Are you ready to start changing lives? Many of us in the reading community are introvert types and as such we, or at least I, struggle with mentoring. I mean really?!? I have to talk to people, share myself, be vulnerable, open… and the list goes on. But just by reading this guide, I was able to see the mentoring that I already do, and how, with a few simple but strategic adjustments, I could help the people in my life walk more closely with our Lord.
One of the things I love most about Invest Yourself A Guidebook for Spiritual Mentoring is that it answers many of the questions I’m too afraid to ask, typically before the thought even forms in my head. It’s a concise yet complete guide that begins at the beginning… ensuring that you know the mentoring process and objectives before you even have a formal mentee. Plus, in a few short ‘conversations’, Stephanie mentors you through the possibilities that God has in store for your future.
If you have a desire to become a mentor, or even if you don’t, Invest Yourself A Guidebook for Spiritual Mentoring is a great book to help you grow in your walk with the Lord!

Nice review! I am really lookin forward to this book. Mentoring is something is something I would be totally nervous about. But like you said, even if you don’t want to mentor – it’s just a great book to help you grow in your walk with the Lord!
I love this review and how you were encouraged in your own informal mentoring to make those simple adjustments that will lead to greater intentionality! Your comments also confirm that the book accomplished its purpose: to lay the mentoring framework for you before you even start and to answer your questions so you can get started with (humbly relying on the Lord) confidence!
Thanks so much. I appreciate you visiting and sharing your thoughts 😀
