Todays education is hi-tech and largely devoid of mentoring.  In a world of Twitter and texting, MSN and MySpace, our relationships have become increasingly superficial. 

This vacuum has created a generation of youth and young adults hungry for community and authentic relationships that foster spiritual growth.

How then do we mentor? Especially when our models have been poor and the baton of wisdom continues to be dropped between generations.

Lifegiving Mentors has been developed as an encyclopedia on mentoring, containing the latest research and creative ideas designed for mentors everywhere.
