We are experiencing a mentoring crisis today. One key reason is that too many women cling to an outdated formulaic idea of what mentoring is all about. When we hear the word "mentoring" we conjure up a picture that fit our experience decades ago. Then we look in the mirror and don't see an adequate mentor staring back at us. Our preconceived ideas about what today's young women want in a mentor convince us we are not qualified to be mentors--but we are wrong. What we don't realize is that younger women today are far more likely to want a relationship with that woman in the mirror than the conjured-up perfect mentor in our head. Organic Mentoringexplores foundational issues that explain why beloved but outdated mentoring methods are no longer effective. The book looks at the cultural changes and fast-paced digital advancements that shape young thought and behavior but weaken the link between generations. It walks through the new values, preferences, ideas, and problems of the next generation and how these issues impact mentoring. Then the authors guide the reader through landmines to avoid and approaches that work today.

REVISED EDITION. Mentoring is one of the best ways we can experience the fullness of life that God desires for us. He has made us for community. He knows the strength, joy, and peace it will bring to our lives. Our Father wants us to experience the joy of coming together, being connected and moving into closer relationship with others and with Him. This book is both a hands-on guide and a personal journal. The book is divided into 12 sessions that lead mentors and mentees through Conversation Starters, Encouragement Starters and Prayer Starters. This revised edition still contains an area to journal, record notes, ideas, lessons learned, key verses and/or written prayers. The hope is that this will serve not only as a helpful tool during mentoring but also as a beautiful reminder of how far you've come along the way.
