This is the Mentor's Guide for the second of a three-volume series called, Mentoring His Way - Disciple Twelve based on the "Twelve Characteristics of a Godly Life." In this second book, we learn about the four "Personal Characteristics of a Godly Life." Being Physically Pure - I belong to God and honor Him with every part of my body. The first personal characteristic of living a Godly life is about how we are to use our bodies. To exemplify the person of Christ, we need to control our bodies by putting them under the control of the Holy Spirit. The body manifests the values of the spirit and soul. Our values and character are developed deep within our soul. Our character is manifested through the body by our behavior. When the body is under the control of the Holy Spirit, it is an obedient servant. Being Love Motivated - I love my family more than I love myself. The second personal characteristic of a Godly life is understanding the importance of the family. In no other place is it more important to remember that our purpose as Christians is to conform to the image of Christ. To have a Godly life, we need to make love our motive in all relationships, especially relationships within our family. Love needs to be the golden thread that holds our families together Being Extremely Valued - I know and love who I am in Christ. I am extremely valued. The third personal characteristic of a Godly life is about the person - primarily our self-image. As others emulate our lives, it is important that we exemplify a positive attitude about who we are in Christ. To do this, we must first know how special we are to our Heavenly Father, because of our relationship in Christ. Being Christ-actualized - I am Christ-actualized rather than self-actualized. The fourth personal characteristic of a Godly life is learning how to apply motivation. Motivation is the inner drive in each of us that keeps us continuously striving toward the attainment of the goals we have set until such attainment is achieved. Having a Godly Life means that we are motivated to become like Christ. Volume One covers the "Spiritual Characteristics of a Godly Life." Volume Three covers the "Lifestyle Characteristics of a Godly Life."

Mentor's Guide - Description This is the Mentor's Guide for the first of a three-volume series called, Mentoring His Way - Disciple Twelve based on the "Twelve Characteristics of a Godly Life." In this first book, we learn about the four "Spiritual Characteristics of a Godly Life." I am a Believer: I know Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior The first characteristic of a Godly life is about your assurance of knowing Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. To conform to the image of Christ, you need to have no doubts that He is in your life and that you are assured of your relationship with Him and that you have eternal life. I am Empowered: I am controlled and empowered by the Holy Spirit The second spiritual characteristic of a Godly life is understanding the power we have available to live the Christian life. Each day we choose to gratify the desires of the flesh or the will of the Spirit. Our spirit is satisfied only when we are totally surrendered to the control of God the Holy Spirit. I am Victorious: I have Christ's authority over all the enemy's power The third spiritual characteristic of a Godly life is to apply Christ's power over Satan. People struggle with temptation every day. We can have real victory over sin by exercising Christ's authority over all of Satan's influence. Because we have Christ in us, He gives us the power and authority over the enemy to stop his attacks. I am a Warrior: I put on all of God's armor in order to defeat Satan The fourth spiritual characteristic of a Godly life is learning how to put on the full armor of God for warfare against the enemy. God promised a way to keep temptation from becoming so strong that we could not stand up against it. He gave us six pieces of armor and instructions for their use. This gives Christians the ability to walk in the Spirit instead of walking in the flesh. Volume Two covers the "Personal Characteristics of a Godly Life." Volume Three covers the "Lifestyle Characteristics of a Godly Life."

Drawing on the author’s extensive experience training mentors, The Mentor’s Way outlines eight rules for engaging in a mentoring relationship. Nemanick examines the ways in which mentoring differs from managing or leading, and details the various roles of the mentor as a role model, motivator, confidant, coach, and more. Readers will learn how to develop successfully in each of these roles while helping a protégé to develop his or her own skills. Clear and elegant chapters, each prefaced with a real-world example, emphasize to readers that their role as a mentor lies in listening and responding to a protégé’s individual strengths and needs. Special attention is paid to creating a safe space, displaying empathy, and fielding a protégé’s questions while knowing what to ask as a mentor. The author takes the anxiety out of the mentorship journey, accompanying practical insight with chapter exercises that are designed to help readers use their own experiences to identify best practice. Suggested topics for difficult mentor/protégé conversations allow readers to facilitate a stronger, more open relationship with their protégé. This practical guide will provide mentors with the toolkit they need to get the most out of a relationship with their protégés.

This is the Mentor's Guide for the third of a three-volume series called, Mentoring His Way - Disciple Twelve based on the "Twelve Characteristics of a Godly Life." In this second book, we learn about the four "Lifestyle Characteristics of a Godly Life." Having a Servants Heart - I serve others, I do not expect them to serve me. The first lifestyle characteristic of a Godly life is about having a servant's heart and meeting the needs of other people. We have been primarily concerned with how we can, through God's Word, and by adapting His Word to our lives, achieve spiritual and personal maturity, in the process of conforming to the image of Christ. Serving Christ in the Workplace - I serve Christ in the workplace. I do my best for God's glory, not man's. The second lifestyle characteristic of a Godly life is understanding how we are to conduct ourselves in our place of employment. As Christians, we must exemplify Christ's character on the job. Whether our workplace is an actual office, within the home, our ministry, or volunteer work within the community, the same principles apply. Trusting God's Provision - I know that God supplies all my needs according to His riches, not mine. The third lifestyle characteristic of a Godly life is to exemplify God's attitude about money; both in the acquisition and the proper use of it. To look at God's attitude concerning our finances we will take a detailed look at the Scriptures. Living Purposefully - I live Christ's life on purpose, not by accident. The fourth lifestyle characteristic of a Godly life is learning how to live Christ's life on purpose, instead of by accident. We need to be like the Apostle Paul. He said, "This one thing I do." He lived Christ's life on purpose. He knew what God had called him to do. He set his course to fulfill that purpose. We must live our lives with the purpose of becoming Christ-like in all we do. Volume One covers the "Spiritual Characteristics of a Godly Life." Volume Two covers the "Personal Characteristics of a Godly Life."
