I am in the healthcare industry and the majority of my current position involves mentoring and training ” new baby” health care workers especially nurses. I have always viewed this as a way for me to pay it forward for the rich education that was granted to me in my undergraduate years. I also feel that the front line health care workers are our true heroes and need all of the guidance and prayers that they can get from someone like myself who has been in the industry for 27 years.

I want a copy because I just resigned my church to give the remainder of my life to mentoring leaders out of and for the next generation. This is exactly what I sense God's call to do. Your blog was recommended to me by a friend after a late nite conversation. He later read your review and said in his email recommendation "Marty … component 9 reminded me of our conversation. … I thought of your investment in the next generation and thought you could be the poster child for this book." I am hoping to learn and refine and grow in my mentoring capicity and effectiveness.__

I know it's December 1st, but I'll try anyway. I would like a copy of the book because I work with the greatest audience in the world; college students & college aged young adults. There is no better audience with whom we could have greater, life-changing, formative impact in my opinion. This book will be the basis of a new leadership/coaching program that I intend to initiate in the next year or two as part of the College Ministry I direct & pastor at Kennesaw State University.

I am a minister at a large church that is over 50 years old. Our relatively new pastor has been in the process of laying out a vision that has developing disciples as a vision point. As a staff we have been praying how this would look and what God has laid on our hearts is that mentoring would be the key. The details of how that would look are still unknown. Your book could be the very tool God would use to help us lay that out.

"There is always a better way… " is the graphic message on my friend's mousepad. This inspiring quote – attributed to Thomas Alva Edison – has remained indelibly imprinted on my mind from the moment my friend shared it with me. (He wouldn't part with his mousepad.)

When I was in high school, feeling the call of God on my life, I was looking for a mentor – an experienced man of God to guide me. I even offered to volunteer my time to one minister, offering to carry his briefcase and shine his shoes. That approach, although ernest and sincere, didn't work.

Unfortunately, the minister didn't have an alternative suggestion for me.

Now, many years later, I have discovered 'Spiritual Direction,' 'Life Coaching,' 'Mastermind' and 'Band of Brothers' constructs. I'm actively working (and praying) on the development of a construct that combines the wisdom and disciplines of the Church Fathers in a 21st century North American culture.

"There is always a better way…" and from your notes, this book sounds like 'a better way.' If it has caused you to 're-think' everything. It should prove to be an essential tool for my work, both as a priest, father and coach.

Thank you for your consideration in sending me a free copy.

Many men will shy away from accepting the opportunity to mentor others because they fear they don't have what it takes – I'll admit to having those kinds of thoughts. What resonates with me in your book notes is the first point – "Mentoring is about learning how to be something." I want to be like Jesus. That seems impossible…until I realize that He is still mentoring! Paul, the apostle, understood this when he said, "Follow me, as I follow Christ." I will get this book, one way or another because I am in a season of "convergeance." I'm on the upward side of a restoration process. I know my destiny includes helping other men learn how to become the man their Creator intended when He made them. Thank you for posting your notes on this book.

Yes, i love to have one, i think this book has a great tips how to be a great mentor because JESUS is great and HE put love when HE mentor!

I love to have one book, i want to learn how to mentor like JESUS for i have compassion to those people who do not accept and believe in JESUS, i also wanted them to know JESUS, what is a true joy of knowing JESUS, the joy HE can give that cannot find anywhere and this world cannot offer or give.

I am a 20-year old female senior student at Washington State University, leading a group of 12 women who are relationally living in the dorms (I am living there with them) with the intent of intentionally sharing the gospel and our lives with our neighbors. This year I want to equip these women with the tools they'll need to continue reaching freshmen students with the gospel, and multiply their lives into others who will do the same. However, I lack a directional vision and training in mentor/discipleship. I'm joining staff with Campus Crusade for Christ next year, and hope to develop a lifestyle of discipleship with those I get to know and interact with. I'd like to share this book with not only my ladies, but my campus as well! I think this book would be so beneficial to our movement that I'm going to buy it if you don't pick me (hope that doesn't disqualify me)!

I'm always looking for the "perfect" model to grow the church spiritually. Of course, there's no more perfect an example of anything, than Jesus. After all, "it was he who gave some to be… so that the Body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity… and become mature" (Eph 4:11-13) As part of this, I strive to develop other brothers' own spiritual gifts for the benefit of the Church. Sometimes this is through mentoring, other times through group studies. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. But there can never be too many tools in the toolbox.

I am the director of a ministry to coaches in Colorado. Our foundational verse is 2 Tim 2:2, "And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others." Discipleship is our key focus in this ministry. I would love to read this book to get a fresh insight into how our ministry might better serve our coaches.

To be frank, I'm at a place in my life where finding a mentor has been almost impossible. You know this. We've talked about it. So rather than complain or be frustrated, I've recently turned my focus from looking for help, to being the help for someone else. It looks like being the solution is actually better than being part of the problem (lack of mentors).

My interest in this book is based on using it to help me form a plan and strategy on how I could use my new focus for the greatest benefit of those I mentor. Your takeaways from the book seem to be a great foundation for my next steps. I look forward to reading more about it.

Having seen the impact people have had on me through mentoring relationships going through Bible College, I intend to implement mentoring at all levels of ministry. Maybe I'll even bring Donald Miller's TMP to Toronto. That's my desire. I can use all the knowledge I can get with this. This book would be another great resource. If you say it's amazing, I need to read it! God bless.

I do not want a free copy of this book. God has blessed me. I can buy it. I cannot imagine waiting for a free book to take action on mentoring anyone. Initiative and leadership is not dependent on the receipt of a free book.
I absolutely love the idea of mentorship as no man is an island unto himself. Anyone who cannot afford a copy should get an ebook copy free. After all, the benefit is for the Kingdom of God. It is He who will reward all believers at the Resurrection of the Just.

I am huge fan of mentoring & applying the principles that Regi lays out; however, this doesn't always come about this way. We do often seek out our mentorees based on traits they possess as well as on how they might inter-relate in a group & with the potential leader. As a member of my church's elder board, our charge is often to step in and lead & mentor younger believers as well as in other things. This book would help form the foundation for creating a more active mentoring plan within the church as well as I could use these insights to help mentor people at work. I would love a copy of this book for this purpose.

Michael,
I am coming from the mentoree side… In my quest to search for a mentor, I had an idea of what I was looking for in a mentor but seeing your blog made me realize what was missing, “Jesus”. I wanted a mentor who knows Jesus, but I need a mentor who follows and mentors like Jesus. My hope is to be able to identify the qualities, mentioned by you from Regi’s book, while in my mentoring relationships. I also want to someday pay it forward to another mentoree some day. Thank you for paying it forward!

Wow! What a refreshing topic. Losing my father during my teen years made having a metor an invaluable experience. I think many times I didn't even realize I was being mentored. Now that I'm 51, I wish I knew now what those men knew then. Sounds like an awesome book!

I'd love to receive a copy of this book as I have tried unsuccessfully to start a mentoring group about 5 years ago. I would like to sit at the feet of the Master and learn how he mentored. How He used timeless principles to make a lasting impact on the world, on society, and in leading people.
Thank you for considering my comment.

We have NO mentoring program in my church (a deaf congregation). But that's not why I want the book. A very special couple are missionaries in South Africa. They are church planters. In sum, the work they do is mentoring. Eventually the deaf they are mentoring in South Africa will become leaders of their own church groups. I want the book, to send to them, to say "Thinking of you. Admire you. Thank you for your service with love." and to quote back to him the verse he often uses Phillipians 1:3 "I thank my God every time I remember you."

Hey! I would love to read your book about mentoring because I am looking for a way to get more involved in ministry. I want to mentor young girls–probably high school or college age. I know I've learned a lot and grown up a lot recently–and I would love to share things with them that I wish I had known them. I'm a little hesitant to know how to start this process…I think your book would be very helpful because it will give me a blueprint of how Jesus ministered (as the perfect example) as well as practical tips to reach out today. The concepts in this article were fascinating. Thanks for considering me!

For the past two years I've been cutting my teeth as a new supervisor at a large Christian theatre where I've served for over 7 years now. Our mission to spread the Gospel of Christ through live theatre goes beyond our patrons and includes our coworkers. While our leadership team has focused much energy on leadership (Maxwell, Lencioni, Buckingham and the like), we have not focused much attention on mentorship. As a young leader, I would like it very much if the man I call mentor would "chose me." At the same time, I now wonder if I'm at the point where one of the ways I can serve my teams is to become a mentor as well.

We have over 600 employees in two locations. I believe our entire organization could benefit from this book and the Christ-focused philosophy behind it. I would like to have the opportunity to introduce our leadership to this revolutionary paradigm shit.

Thank you for your consideration Mr. Hyatt. God speed as you serve Him!

I'd like to receive a copy of "Mentor Like Jesus" because I'm currently looking for a tool to help me develop a mentoring system. Currently, I'm mentoring 5 men in their 20s & early 30s who are trying to follow Christ in varying professions (some ministry related & others professional). This book looks like it may provide a system that would provide a strong framework for this group. I pastor a 4 year old church plant in central Illinois that has grown fairly rapidly largely based on what God has taught me through mentoring relationship. As people are approaching me for mentoring, I'd like to be able to add value to their lives in a systematic way.

Thanks for your consideration.

Michael, as a teacher and a rugby coach, the mentoring process is a vitally important one. One of the quickest ways to develop a new player is to pair them off with a more experienced player and encourage them to 'imitate' the way they play. ultimately, they take on board a lot of this behaviour and give it a unique twist that is from their own personality and style. In school, struggling or troublesome pupils respond greatly when buddied-up with a more senior or respected pupil. As teachers and coaches we are often part of the mentoring process. Jesus clearly had the best program – his twelve (substitute Paul for Judas) spread his message out across the world! From your review Regi Campbell has seen through into the heart of Jesus' mentoring process, and this knowledge can only teach and enrich me to improve the work I already do with my pupils and players. God bless you Michael and thank you for this opportunity.

for years i've heard people throw around the word 'mentor'. a friend of mine has a long list of people she considers mentors. i don't get that. the whole idea of mentorship confuses me. but it also intrigues me.

i crave the kind of mentorship you described here.

at 19 i moved to africa, and have been in full-time ministry there for 11 years. i have never had anyone i'd consider a mentor (based on the criteria outlined in your post), but know that i could really benefit from one. but more than that, my ministry (the team of staff and the beautiful african people i serve) would also benefit.

i desire to grow in my leadership. to be sharpened.

i want to read this book so i know what to look for in a mentoring relationship. and to help me pray more specifically for the right mentor to come into my life.

but i also want to read it because i desire to mentor others. i want to extend something to others that i wish i'd had as i started out in ministry.

Michael,
I always love to get a new book resource.
Your timing is perfect! I am getting requests from our In His Grip Golf Church Partners to design a mentoring program. This sounds like the perfect program to implement into our ministry. I have personally been praying about being available to pour into the next generation and look forward to get this kicked off.

I agree. However, Jamie underplays the essential nature of the way his Christian faith informs his choices in business, serving churches wih sound reinforcement and recording. His skills are respected within his industry, and the young men he has mentored have each developed excellent businesses, underpinned with integrity and honest dealings. I cannot recommned Jamie highly enough. He deserves a free book. Give him my copy, if you like.

I can think of three reasons why I would like this book. The first is that I work in leadership development for women and mentoring is a big part of what we do. I often feel like I am making it up as I go and need to read more.
The second is my husband is a pastor who does mentoring as well and this is on his wish list so we could both read it.
The third is that I will send you a book on mentoring written by my colleague, Lynn Smith, who works with me at http://www.nextlevelleadership.ca
And a bonus reason – I think if you recommend it that it must be a good book. I appreciate your insights and comments and have been disappointed so far!

I have mentored only three Guys in my life, and all three of them, like you first suggested, came to me. They wanted to get involved in the industry that I work in (Professional Audio – Sound for the entertainment industry) and wanted me to teach them. I worked with them all at different times and I'm very pleased to say that they have all gone on to have successful careers in the said industry. But, not only professional success – all three have gained a reputation of being honest, hard working and men of integrity in an industry that is not really know for those three virtues. I am just about to start in a new international business and this time it is down to me to choose the people who I work with…it will be a very close working relationship with the people I choose and I have been looking for a book that would help me to mentor my team – not necessarily in the skills they need to do the job from a professional point of view – but more in the way we conduct ourselves in business – to become how my first three turned out – honest, hard working and know within the industry for their integrity…to stand out, be different from the others around them…and yes, to shine a light in an industry that is know for it's debauchery. Non of us are perfect – and God Knows I'm really not, so I need all the help I can get. Showing others the way to do life and helping them to display their creative uniqueness is a huge and daunting responsibility!

I would love a copy of this book because I am actively trying to follow Jesus' example as I reach out to college students at Purdue University. Just last week I had coffee with two students who recently made big faith decisions, and they said that they want to do what I do. I'm planning to meet with them regularly as I continue to coach others on their spiritual journeys. This book seems like it would offer a fresh perspective on mentoring and impacting others. And if it's as good as you say it is, I promise to pass it on.

Thanks for making these available and have a great Thanksgiving!

I manage a coffee shop on a college campus that acts as a college ministry for my church. Our goal is to affect the lives of everyone that comes in there (about 200 people a day) by connecting to people in a relational way. Whether it's by remembering patrons's names or orders or by connecting with them and forming bonds through conversation and/or expression, we want to make people feel at home. It's my personal goal to disciple to people as Christ did. I don't just want to do things the "traditional" or "accepted" way. I want to do things the way Christ did them. The best way possible. I think that this book would help me to disciple, build relationships with, and mentor students at the university in the most effective way. Christ's teachings aren't for one generation or one type of people, they are for all people. And only His teaching style will help me to affect a demographic group that feels like nobody understands them. This book will hopefully help me enhance my teaching/discipleship/mentoring.

I'm so glad I've had an opportunity to read your blog this evening, been busy writing exams this week so I haven't had a chance to drop in. I read todays (wed 25-11-09) blog before reading this one, so you'll gage from my comment that mentoring is really close to my heart. I believe in mentoring, it's tangible,it's relational, it's often practical and the best part is, the mentor often imparts from learned experience.Point 4 jumped out at me, I love it that the mentors chooses the mentoree and not the other way around. I'd love a copy.

My husband and I are Deaf leaders in our local church, as well as leaders in the Tabernacle Mission. We are small group leaders and care for some deaf christians in our home area where they need to be encouraged to continue in their Christian walk. Hence this idea of mentoring is an excellent way to enable us to better disciple them to grow. We would love to have this book as I'm sure that you would like an insight from a deaf Christian perspective.

I run the women's meetings in our church in Germany and want to start Mentoring to move on to the next level. So many of the ladies come to consume, but aren't getting actively involved. Last year 256 ladies attended 5 meetings and we're only 300 in our church – so we want to get these ladies into an active relationship with Jesus and with others.
For 6 months now we've been looking for a good book on mentoring, but nothing as yet has been a good fit. The way Jesus did it is a GREAT starting point! Thanks Michael – I get a lot out of your Blogs and Twitters. In fact your interview on the Catalyst Podcast got me into Twitter!!!
Perhaps this is the answer.

Hey Michael,

I have a cousin who is losing his marriage and asking for help. I have friends who want me to mentor them in business. I have staff that look up to me for guidance. With all of this I struggle to find just the right program to help them all. I have used Christ's examples many times in my counselling to others but never thought of how His actions could be used as a mentoring program. I would be very appreciative of this book!

The challenge for me has been to start mentoring a group of single young men ('m a single, more mature guy). I seem to have ticked a lot of the boxes mentioned in the list of eleven chapters, so I'm greatly encouraged that I'm doing it right. Inviting the guys to 'follow me' implied I was worth following and could help guide them towards something worthwhile. 'Is that pride?' I asked myself. In the end, I realised it was the way Jesus did it, so it was probably just a statement of truth And there was much rejoicing when they all said 'yes!' (as it turned out 4 out of 6 have committed to the group). We meet weekly for prayer, scripture memory (big chunks, not isolated verses), preaching practice with critique, plus accountability with one another re thought life, since we're all hot-bloodied, attractive single blokes in need of support from one another to walk the walk. So far, two months in, it's been fun, real, spiritual, bonding, and envied by outsiders, too.

We are called to be disciples who make disciples for Jesus. As a GenX Episcopal priest who did the unusual thing of going straight from undergraduate to seminary, I am among the few GenX clergy with some time served, so to speak, and feel called to mentor newer clergy of our Generation. The description of this book leads me to ask, who should I seek out to mentor… among new clergy, and among my parishioners who seek to live lives of service to our Lord.

I would love a copy of this book! I am currently learning to be a life coach and am also a small group leader at church. My place of employment has just launched a leadership development program called LaunchPAD and we all could stand to learn from this book. The LaunchPAD program humbly aims to develop young, urban leaders in Garfield Park (a community in Chicago) who will be a voice to their generation and have the potential to revolutionize the idea of community. These men will live in 5 dorms we have set aside here at the BTMC. This is an 18 month program.
Through a collaboration of faithful men, women and Staff, these participants will walk along side their network to foster personal growth through purpose driven structure and cultivate healthy relationships with God, man and each other.
The LaunchPAD Program focus is to help it’s participants pace out their own vision for the future, constructing a healthy expression of cultural diversity by seeking racial justice and equality needed to catapult its young men and others into healthy leadership roles within society.

I oversee operations of a group of faith based pregnancy community clinics in the Orange County/LA area. So many of our employees are young women and our clients are young and lack role models in their lives. I have been looking for materials to create a mentoring program for these young pregnant women and their dad's to be. We have a group of men committed to mentoring young dads but no formal program. I'd love to read the book

Michael, much of what I’ve seen that’s called “mentoring” or “discipleship” is programatic instead of relational. I would like to help “turn all this on its head” as well, by learning and applying mentoring priciples the life of Christ. Regi’s book will undoubtedly help me do that become a better mentee or mentor in the process.

Mike, I rarely post a comment on anyone's blog. I may forward posts and share the information, but that is the extent of my involvement. I have been reading your posts for the past couple of years now. I appreciate the insight and the candor. You have a lot to offer and have found the platform to offer it. This particular post really grabbed me. I have yearned for this kind of mentorship that you mention here. Throughout my careeer (I am in my late 30's) I have sought out Godly men to learn from them, and try to learn what it means to be a true Christ follower, and at the same time, be a successful business person, husband and father. We have moved a lot, climbing the corporate ladder. Key men have influenced my life, but I have never found a true mentor. I wish that I lived in Nashville. It sounds like your heart is truly about investing into others. I would love a copy of this book, if for no other reason, than to learn how to become a mentor myself someday. I have been around some great leaders and some very poor leaders, but even the great leaders didn't know how to mentor and raise up the next generation of leader that they could pass the baton to. Keep up the great work.

Just wanted to say that "Mentoring Like Jesus" is a lot like what we did/do as a "sponsor" in AA… GIVING of ourselves FREELY to mentor "Newbies" thru the Big Book of A.A." and to show them HOW we've stayed sober & LIVED life as Jesus would after taking… 1/2

I am a missionary, and as we are building our team and maing disciples it is important to have the best methods available. Obviously, the best methods are biblically based, and this book seems to highlight a biblically based model. I am a leader and therefore a reader, and I want to read about the best way to mentor the young men on our team!
