Tools for Mentoring by Joy Schroeder

Tools for Mentoring is an innovative discipleship book consisting of 19 modules. It is available as printable PDFs and on the easily navigable Kindle, using the Kindle app. Tools for Mentoring gives flexible direction for one-to-one discipleship, small groups, and self-study. Each module is splintered into sections of ready-to-use Bible studies and practical applications. Use TFM as a start-anywhere spiritual road map. Choose one module, or section of one, that is most relevant to you or your friend whose growth you are supporting. Do the modules in any order and you will still cover the foundational issues of trustworthy character, healthy relationships, and biblical priorities.

Tools for Mentoring was not created in a vacuum. Rather, it is the product of thousands of conversations with young adults during four decades of campus ministry alongside my husband Dick. The 19 modules also provide a window to my own freedom-journey with Jesus—a journey lived out in authentic relationships with His followers, and with abandoned dependence on the Holy Spirit’s grace and power. I believe working through these 19 topics determines whether or not we run life’s race unhindered by needless baggage. — Joy
