Opis

God never intended that we do life alone. The Hole in My Soul creates a refreshing renewed meaning and urgent call for every one of us to find value in the role of a mentor in our lives ... someone we trust ... who can help us navigate our spiritual journey. Dr. Perry helps us visualize a mentor as a God-sent ambassador of hope, honest counselor, intimate guide and godly model who grants us the capacity to appropriate the resources we have available to fill the empty inner places in our lives. This book is a must read for every leader, small group study and ministry team. Devour each chapter and take the next major growth step in your journey with God and others as you find a mentor ... and discover that you don't need to do life or ministry alone, anymore Doug Fagerstrom Senior Vice President, Converge Worldwide Biblical, Practical, Proven: The Hole in My Soul is not a book of mentoring theory. These are the real life principles involved in mentoring that are mined out of the scriptures and proven over a lifetime of use. I have known Dr. Dwight Perry for more than 25 years and have been privileged to see his life and ministry up close. Dwight is a mentor. That's who he is. That's what he does. God has used mentors to shape his life and ministry, and now God is using him to shape others. You will find this book not only a practical guide to mentoring, but also a story that inspires. Larry Adams Senior Pastor, Golden Hills Community Church If there is one man who epitomizes the essence of a mentor, it is Dwight Perry. He has been a generalist, specialist, and remote mentor to countless people including myself. Dwight has been a student of our culture and ideally equipped to provide accurate reflections of the state of our society. From those reflections and extensive experience building into the lives of others he has written a timely book on the importance of mentors today. He practices what he teaches and lives out with integrity the principles he presents. The guidance he provides will help you find a mentor and be a mentor. Life is difficult at best and navigating life's journey requires a guide by the side and sometimes a sage on the stage. Research indicates that those who finished the race well have had anywhere from 10 to 15 mentors in their lives. Dwight offers a framework for identifying the mentors we need, the qualities they must have, the role they play, the benefits they present, and the dangers to avoid in a mentoring relationship. I highly recommend this book to men and women who desire to become all God has created them to be.
