More than a Mentor: Understanding and Growing in Your Relationship with Your Spiritual Father

by Randy Borders

There seems to be a tendency in many Christian contexts to abandon doctrines that have been abused. However, I would contend that you don’t correct wrong teaching by non-teaching. You correct it by right teaching. I believe this is the heart of this book by Bishop Randy Borders. He takes an often abandoned New Testament concept—spiritual parenting—and passionately and soundly highlights the importance of being raised to maturity in the faith. As Peter was to Mark, Elijah to Elisha, and Paul to Timothy, we need fathers in faith. My life and my leadership are better because of those who chose to be ‘More Than a Mentor’.Dr. Dharius DanielsLead Pastor, Change ChurchAuthor, RePresent JesusImagine a church in which the children of God love and support their spiritual fathers and mothers as fully as they do their natural parents—and are blessed abundantly for it!What if God intended you to bear such an attitude of respect and appreciation toward the men and women He has charged with your spiritual upbringing?

Great book

This is a great book the deals with an important issue within ministry. The spiritual father has been absent and I believe Bishop Borders is bringing light to it in this book.
