With: a Practical Approach to Informal Mentoring by Alvin L. Reid 
Product Details
- Publisher: NavPrss
- Date Published: 2012
Point: You can mentor others by involving them in the everyday elements of your life.
Path: Reid explains why we must mentor others and how we can do so in our everyday life. In four short chapters he gives definition to the word “mentoring,” the example of Christ, and practical examples of how it looks.
Sources: A lifetime of ministry experience and books such as “The Be-With Factor” by Boshers and Poling, and “The Master Plan of Evangelism” by Coleman.
Agreement: This mentality is commonly ignored in the land of bountiful programs and busy schedules. We would rather fill out an outline with a “disciple” than fill a grocery cart or work around the house.
Disagreement: This is a short book. There could have been a lot more written. I would have appreciated hearing a little less about the pastors of mega churches, and heard more practical ideas for mentoring.
Personal App: Am I involving others in my life to help move them toward Christ?
Favorite Quote: “We overestimate the impact of our words when we stand before a group to teach” (loc. 95)
Stars: 3. 5 out of 5
It would be worth another read and I would recommend it. I am looking for a more comprehensive book, but one that is still accessible.
