What are Mentor Guides
Each Mentor Guide is a tool to equip you in sharing your knowledge of the “Twelve Characteristics of a Godly Life” with others. The content ofthe study books are completely embedded in the Mentor’s Guide. It is laid out by sessions, just like the study books are. Although, the guide has additional mentor information embedded throughout the content. At the beginning of each session, you will find a breakdown which reviews last the prior weeks study, and the homework assignments and memory verse for the current week. You will also find a list of Scriptures that are referenced and an outline of the chapter. At the end of the chapter, you will find questions and answers that are a part of the homework assignment. There is also a preview and the homework assignments for the following week.
This study is versatile. It can be used one-on-one for specific mentoring or within a group setting for mentor training purposes, or with couples for marriage or pre-marital mentoring. This is not a psychological counseling program. We believe that God’s Word is all that is needed to mentor or disciple individuals, as well as, married and pre-marital couples.
As you go through the each chapter, you will find key points you should touch on underlined and bolded to highlight during the discussion. You will also see “Touch Points”, “Mentor Notes”, and “Conversation Questions” these phrases are all in “CAPS”. The “Touch Points” are follow-up statements or additional information that relates to the underlined points in the material. The “Mentor Notes” are tips for you, the mentor. The “Conversation Questions” are to stimulate interaction between you and your mentee.These are suggestions or discussion starters that enhance the material at that point. There is a full explanation at the beginning of the Mentor’s Guide on how to successfully use it.
