Synopsis

Today’s Christian women do not simply want nice fellowships and cookie-cutter answers about how to deal with life. Though churches are filled with good ministry programming—activities, outreach events, and an endless selection of options—many churches neglect their fundamental mission to make disciples.   Christian women want to mentor and to be mentored, though they may not fully understand what that means, the significance of this desire, or how to get there. The church must rise to answer these questions, meet life’s challenges, and develop creative ways of equipping modern women to mentor well. In Mentor for Life, Natasha Sistrunk Robinson lays a solid foundation for mentoring that is based on God’s kingdom vision, challenges women to consider the cost of discipleship, and the high calling they have received in Christ. It shows how to develop mentoring relationships that function communally in existing small groups that are diverse and inclusive. It also presents a mentoring framework of knowing and loving God, understanding our identity in Christ, and loving our neighbor, which encourages theological reflection and cultivates a basic Christian worldview.Filled with examples from Robinson’s experience in the military and business world, this resource gives readers the wisdom they need to disciple others and as a foundation for kingdom service.Reflection questions, appendixes, and additional resources are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Solid, insightful and encouraging. I especially appreciate the model for group mentoring instead of one on one.......more

Goodreads review by Michael on June 16, 2023

For Robinson, Mentoring is intentional discipleship, helping mentees know and love God, understand who they are in Christ, and love their neighbors as themselves. Robinson favors the language of mentoring over that of discipleship because it is more familiar to more people. She recommends mentoring......more
