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 __________________________________________________ Are you a pastor? Are you a life coach . . . a mentor? Are you a Sunday school teacher or youth worker? Are you considered to be an influencer? Are you a team leader at work? Have you started a business that requires more than just you to get the job done. Are you a parent or grandparent? May I suggest 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.
