Review Quotes
"Deep Mentoring is a must-read for anyone in leadership, a valuable tool for those mentoring the next generation of leaders as well as a helpful guide for those seeking mentoring. It has lots of great examples and ideas for building strong, effective mentoring relationships that will change lives as mentors and mentees learn to notice God's work in their lives."
"Two fresh, 'younger' doctors of the soul offer invaluable guidance to those who desire to honestly pursue the path of transformation into the likeness of Jesus Christ. Deep mentoring is an essential, desperately needed discipline for today's church if the large and growing chasm between the generations (modern and postmodern?) is to be bridged. Deep Mentoring provides both inspiration and wisdom towards this vital task of the twenty-first-century body of Christ.Deep Mentoring presents a much needed broader exposure of the already-proven but largely unknown ministry of VP3. I have seen firsthand as a pastor more than a hundred lay leaders and ministers have their lives changed by going through this process of spiritual formation. Read this book and taste the process, and then run to get your church involved in the most effective ministry and leadership development tool/discipline/process for the local church I have ever come across.This book, while thoroughly grounded in Scripture and good theology ('Who is God?'), is really about application of the Gospel and the implications of the Gospel for how we live our lives (see Eph. 2:10, which may be called the theme verse of the VP3 process). People everywhere in the church are looking for someone to apply the Bible to their lives. What they don't realize and what Deep Mentoring makes clear is that only they, with a few others helping them (hopefully including a mentor and necessarily including the Holy Spirit), can truly apply the Word of God to their lives! No one can do it for them! They must hear uniquely from God the answers to the often unasked questions, 'Who am I?' and 'What am I to do with my life?'. Few things are needed in the contemporary church more than the deep exercise of seriously and honestly asking these three questions that form the threefold 'vantage point' of this process described in Deep Mentoring."
"With wide-ranging knowledge and with voices steeped in experience, we have been given a gift in this book! You are holding in your hands a guide to how a leader is made. This is not a shallow guide offering tips and techniques, it is a profound tool to help you understand how the soul of a leader is shaped. This book is set to become the go-to book on leadership development. I simply loved it! I was inspired, helped, equipped and motivated! You will be too!"
