Someone to Walk With: A Woman's Guide to Christian Mentoring
Mentoring is an opportunity for women to love one another, to figure out life side by side. It might look different from what it used to: not formal meetings but getting together for coffee when you need to talk. Not one-sided advice but an intergenerational friendship where both parties connect, encourage, listen, and learn.
The conversational exploration offered here looks at the story of Jesus meeting the woman at the well, and other examples from the Bible and real life, to see what that connection looks like. It meets you where you are and helps you move forward to genuine mentoring.

Wouldn't we all love someone to guide us through the dangerous paths of life? To cheer us on through the uphill climbs? To rejoice when we've successfully reached the top?
Someone to Walk With helps readers understand how to form successful mentoring relationships--whether you're the one on the rocky path or the one cheering her on. Author Darcy Paape encourages informal and organic mentoring. She outlines ways to make those kinds of relationships happen and offers tools for growing and deepening connections.
I especially appreciated Chapter Two: A Mentoring Community Listens. This chapter offers many practical tips on active listening that can lead to deeper conversations. Listening to understand is an important skill that enriches all of our relationships and especially our mentoring relationships.
Someone to Walk With is a welcome guide toward meaningful mentoring.

Thank you, Edelweiss+ and Concordia Publishing House, for a complimentary copy of this book!
This book is a great way for those who love stories applied to everyday life. The author used Bible stories/parables to illustrate how mentors in a spiritual setting should approach potential disciples, new believers, and even seasoned believers. It took me a while to get into the book, but I loved the "movie" going on in my head when I imagined the Bible story. I also liked how the author added challenges/homework to practice what the reader learned after each big section.

My mom invited me to join her church bible study group as they worked through this book together; using it as a roadmap for mentoring relationships. I loved the opportunity it gave for us all to share our different experiences and backgrounds. I wish the book itself would have provided more suggestions on mentoring but it was still a nice read with good insight into some well known bible stories.
