Mentoring: A Tool for Ministry

This book gives the background of the mentoring a one-on-one teaching relationship that is both personal and professional.

In eight succinct chapters, it shows how mentoring took place in the Bible with Old Testament and New Testament figures and how to apply these lessons today. For example, Jethro helped Moses overcome an administrative problem; Moses prepared Joshua for leadership; Barnabas brought Paul into the Christian church; and Paul developed Timothy for service. In these studies, we see both Law and Gospel in action. For example, the immature John Mark abandons the ministry but is later restored and becomes useful to Paul.
