Tools for Mentoring by Joy Schroeder

Tools for Mentoring is an innovative discipleship e-book consisting of 19 modules of ready-to-use Bible studies that connect truth to almost every area of life. For several years, I searched for freedom from the attitudes of my heart and the ghosts from my past that kept tripping me. I wondered if the Christian life could be lived successfully by anyone—or at least by me. The 19 modules of Bible studies in Tools for Mentoring provide a window to my journey with Jesus, and that of hundreds of others. It’s a journey lived out in authentic community with His followers, and with abandoned dependence on the Holy Spirit’s grace and power. I offer them to you as my fellow Christ-follower and partner in supporting others’ spiritual growth. These 19 topics, I believe, are among those that determine whether or not we finish life’s race well. Use them as a spiritual road map; do them in any order. If we continually apply biblical principles and encourage others to do the same, we’ll be better equipped to run life’s race unhindered by needless baggage. — Joy
