Synopsis: Men without mentors are like fish without water. Mentors are people of wisdom and experience who have the ability to train you, correct you, and connect you to opportunities and relationships that you cannot find on your own. Howard and William Hendricks provide counsel to both protégés and mentors on how to make the most of this dynamic type of relationship.

Value: A surprisingly large number of young men fear asking older men to be mentors and a surprisingly larger number of older men fear being asked by young men to be mentors. For the sake of our relationships with God, our wives, children, church, employers, customers, followers, and communities, we need to get past that fear. This book will at least point you past the fear to the value of mentoring. You have to put it into practice.
