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? Get ready to see your pastor or spiritual leader as more than a mere teacher or mentor.Bishop Randy Borders offers biblically inspired insight into why followers of Christ must get serious about their relationships with their shepherds in the faith.In this book, you will learn:-Why honor is a lifestyle choice-Why spiritual fathers need your support-Why fathers should not provoke their children to anger-What responsibilities spiritual children have for their spiritual parentsPlus, reflective workbook questions will help you begin applying these lessons toward your relationships with your own spiritual parents—even those you may have neglected in the past.Are you ready to fulfill your God-given role in these relationships and receive God’s full blessing?Then start reading More than a Mentor today and choose to become the son or daughter—and possibly the spiritual father or mother—God intends you to be!
