Woman to Woman Mentoring: How to Start, Grow, and Maintain a Mentoring Ministry - Leader Kit by Janet Thompson provides resources to help you start a mentoring ministry or strengthen the ministry you already have. The need for mentoring in the lives of women is stronger today than ever before. Our society has become so mobile that most people no longer live near family. A younger woman may be looking for a mother figure. An older woman may have an empty nest and be looking to 'adopt' a daughter to mentor. A woman who is a new Christian may be looking for the influence and godly counsel of a woman who has been growing in her faith for some time. New mothers need help knowing how to balance all the plates they are called to spin. The needs are endless.

Woman to Woman Mentoring (Training Leader Guide)

Dear God, Why Can't I Have a Baby? provides women and ''couples-in-waiting'' with tools, direction, guidance, hope, and encouragement not to lose faith in God, or in each other, as they strive to share their love with a child.Rachel's cry of barrenness in Genesis 31:1, ''Give me children, or I'll die!'' is a wail that still echoes around the world, as one in six couples experience infertility. Infertility statistics are staggering: nearly 6.1 million women and 2.1 million married couples in the United States will experience difficulty having a child.
Onlookers, and sadly even churches, often treat these ''empty arms'' couples with indifference, platitudes, criticism, or minimize the pain of miscarriages and stillborn babies. Couples struggling with infertility say they often feel alone and ostracized in their own churches and families. As a result, many infertile couples grow desperate, and some like Rachel, even feel suicidal when denied the one dream they have had since childhood-having a baby.
This book seeks to ease readers' pain and accompany them on their infertility journey by offering: companionship, a place to cry, a way to journal and keep records, and most importantly, the strengthening of their faith in God.

Realize the value and blessings of participating in mentoring relationships during all stages, ages, and seasons of life. 
Women often don't think they know enough to be a mentor, or fear rejection if they ask someone to mentor them. Others don't think they need mentoring. However, throughout the Bible, God calls spiritually younger and older women to learn from and teach one another. 
Mentoring for All Seasons helps answer questions like these: - What is mentoring? - How do I find a mentor? - Why does God want us to mentor one another? - What are the blessings of mentoring? 
Through true stories from mentors and mentees in life seasons from tween through death--along with the author's personal experiences, helpful tips, Scriptures to study together, and biblical mentoring relationship examples--Mentoring for All Seasons encourages women to be intentional about sharing their life experiences and God's faithfulness with other women.

Mentoring for All Seasons: Sharing Life Experiences and God's Faithfulness

Our morally deteriorating culture has forgotten God's goodness to its own peril. Will the next generation even know God? The very survival of the Christian faith depends on creating a culture of God-memories that must start now!
Today's culture is quickly forgetting the goodness and power of God. The Bible describes the potential destruction through all generations to people who forget God. The dangers are paramount. If we don't remember what God has already done, we won't believe what he is capable of doing in the future. Memory builds faith.
Forsaken God explores biblical examples of forgetting God as God repeatedly pleads for his people to remember his mighty acts and deeds. As you read this captivating book, you will have an opportunity to recall your own memories of God and learn new ways to remember God's goodness and the power of sharing those memories with the next generation. The author and other contributors share open and honest stories of forgetting God's goodness and offer ways that help them to remember.

Mentoring in Nursing and Healthcare: A Practical Approach

For some, golf is an instant passion. These golfers practice religiously, play often, watch it on TV, and frequently attend tournaments. Then there’s the other kind of golfer. This group simply enjoys the occasional round, weather permitting, and doesn’t take the game too seriously. Things get interesting when those two kinds of people marry each other. 
Such was the case for Janet and Steve Thompson, who married over thirty-five years ago and have been golfing together ever since. In The Golfer’s Wife, Janet combines her story with those of seven professional golfers’ wives, examining how a wife’s relationship with golf can affect her relationship with her husband―and vice versa―with self-deprecating humor and a generous spirit. At the intersection of memoir and biography, this look into the love of the game―and the love of the player―will charm both the golfer and nongolfer alike. 
A portion of the proceeds from The Golfer’s Wife will be donated to the following charities: the Brandt & Mandy Snedeker Foundation, the Brighter Days Foundation, the Charley Hoffman Foundation, Crystal Coast Hospice House, the Jacobsen Youth Initiative, Juvenile Diabetes Research, and the Micaela’s Army Foundation.

Be Your Own Kind of Brave! Bravery isn't reserved for only women serving on international mission teams, or for women who serve in the military or on a police force. Every woman is brave, much braver than she might think. But feelings of doubt and inadequacy try to stop us from living up to our God-given potential to be courageous women of faith. In Everyday Brave, Janet explores the extraordinary actions of fifty ordinary women in the Bible, women who display bravery in usual and unusual circumstances. Thirty present-day women also give their testimony of realizing their strength and courage through God's love. As Janet shares the stories of these women, she reminds us that the heart and substance of bravery, even in the face of fear, comes from unconditionally placing our hope in the only One who can give us the courage to stay the course. The stories in this book will inspire you to face your greatest challenges and conquer your deepest fears. Janet Thompson addresses all aspects of our lives and reminds us that nothing is impossible when God is our guide and the source of our strength. Amazing book - buy it and read it! -Crystal Bowman, award-winning author of more than one hundred books, including Mothers in Waiting: Healing and Hope for Those with Empty Arms. Profiled in a vibrant and engaging manner, the stories of the biblical women in Everyday Brave challenge women of today to live with courage because they belong to a fully capable, true, and powerful God. These women show that living bravely in light of God's truth isn't necessarily easy, but yielding one's own will for the sake of being used by God for his purposes brings fulfillment, peace, and joy. - Cynthia Newman, dean of the College of Business Administration and professor of marketing, Rider University. In this world, we all need to be just a little bit braver! In Everyday Brave, Janet Thompson gives us an infusion of courage through the examples of women in the Bible. A must-read to gain confidence and courage for everyday life! - Pam Farrel, best-selling author of forty-eight books, including Seven Simple Skills for Every Woman, and coauthor of Discovering Hope in the Psalms. Janet Thompson has put together an amazingly comprehensive study on fifty women from the Bible who demonstrated bravery. A common theme in these stories is choice. We don't have to wait until we feel brave. We can make the choice to be brave to take action on a daily basis and demonstrate that we trust God for the results. I highly recommend this excellent book for yourself and for your small group. - Janet Holm McHenry, international speaker and author of twenty-four books, including PrayerWalk and The Complete Guide to the Prayers of Jesus. Janet Thompson has masterfully brought to life brave women of the Bible who, along with contemporary women of faith, remind us that with God, we're all braver than we think possible. You'll want to soak in every bit of wisdom and encouragement that Janet offers for all areas of our life. - Pat Layton, president, Life Impact Network, and author of Surrendering the Secret and Life Unstuck Do you need a dose of bravery to face hardships and challenges, or just to trust God's purposes in your everyday life? Janet breathes life into the women in the Bible, sharing their brave choices and boldness. Yet she also reveals that bravery isn't just about what we do. It is how we believe - even in times of waiting and grief. These real women with real challenges can help us face our fears and doubts in order to live victoriously. This is a wonderful book to read with a community or a friend! - Tricia Goyer, USA Today best-selling author of seventy-five books, including Walk It Out
