Built on many years of effective organizational and civic leadership, this newest book from Greg White and Paul Linzey takes leaders and mentors on a journey of deepening their self-awareness and their ability to guide others towards leadership, integrity, and effectiveness. It's definitely a life-changer! Journey to Mentoring describes who Greg is and how he develops those around him. This book will enable you to share with the people you are mentoring so you can experience and grow while working together through the issues and challenges you are facing. Gary R. Allen, former Executive Editor, Enrichment Journal for the Assemblies of God. Leadership is far more than buildings and budgets, even though they are essential. Leadership is more than just getting the job done. It is more than taking the hill. It also involves the development and even the survival of others you are taking on the journey. I love the following quote from the book, "mentoring mentors is like compounded interest in an investment. It grows and builds momentum." As you effectively pour your life into others you are actually touching the generations that are yet to be born. Greg White and Paul Linzey do more than write on well-known principles. The personal illustrations from their real-life situations will resonate. As I read this book I was encouraged that I was doing some things very well AND I was encouraged by the possibility of improving that which I was not doing as well. Michael Livengood, Mike Livengood Ministries It has been said that mentorship is wisdom without the pain. The truth is, too many people have graduated from the school of hard knocks. The "guideposts" of truth found within this book serve as a treasure chest of practical leadership principles that will help the reader navigate the waters of mentorship for many years to come! It is not only an honor to endorse this book, it is equally an honor to have it as a valued resource in our library! Jimmy and Melissa Patillo, Patillo Leadership Group, Global Men's Director for the Pentecostal Church of God I have two questions. Who are the unknown heroes of your story, the people who encouraged you, exhorted you, and built you up? And then the other side of the coin: who are the people who are listening to you, waiting for you to be a mentor who will help them on their path. In this book by Greg White, you can find direction if you are being mentored by others, as well receiving guidance as you are in the process of mentoring others. Read this book, understand its concepts and principles, and you too can be a hero and a mentor. Pastor Phil Schneider, District Superintendent, Illinois District Council, Assemblies of God Journey to Mentoring was like pulling up a seat across the table and enjoying a cup of coffee with a couple of wise, seasoned friends. Greg & Paul share personal stories built on decades of combined ministry and leadership experiences which will equip, challenge, and inspire you to grow in your own mentoring journey. They share stories of trial and triumph, fear and resiliency, victory and defeat, along with Biblical reflections and practical applications. Journey to Mentoring is a timely book at a strategic junction for vocational ministers and lay alike desiring to pass the mantle on to the next generation. Mark Bettinger, Illinois Director, Chi Alpha Campus Ministries, Founder and Chairman of Forward Ministry Kenya
