Growing Together: Taking Mentoring beyond Small Talk and Prayer Requests (The Gospel Coalition)

I’ve read several books intended for women, as well as books on discipleship, and none are as practical, relatable, and theologically robust as this one. Very thoughtfully written with challenging concepts brought down to earth. I’m pleased with my investment of time and energy to read and annotate through Growing Together. I plan to use it with an mentee in the future. Also, the cover art is lovely in every way. Thank you for the whole team who crafted this book to bless and guide the Church, especially Melissa.

My discipleship group at church is using this book for our Bible study. Although this book was designed for a mature Christian woman mentoring a younger Christian woman, we are able to enjoy it as a group of four women that are all around the same age and stage in our spiritual walk. There are many scripture references in each chapter, and the entire book is scripture-based and not the 'self-help' style that is so popular nowadays where there is very little that draws from scripture. We have been choosing one to use as a memory verse each week. The book is very insightful; the author presents gospel truths well. The questions at the end of the chapter are just right for a small group, helping us get to know each other better while encouraging us to address things in our spiritual walk that need attention. I have underlined and circled something on pretty much every page. Highly recommend this book for small groups.

This book helped me get to know another woman I was mentoring. It asked good questions to get us thinking about who we are and who we want to be before God and others. Both of us thought it was helpful to go deeper in our relationship, touching topic we would probably not have discussed.

This is an amazing resource for mentorship. I will use it over and over er again. Insightful questions for one-on-one or small group mentoring. A favorite for my mentoring ministry!

If you are looking to disciple/mentor someone, this can be a good place to start. This book will give lots of ideas on how to begin a mentoring relationship and what those meeting times can look like, topics to be sure to cover, etc. This is a good starting place if you're unsure where to begin.

My women's Bible Study is using this book to help us become mentors. This book breaks it down for all levels of mentoring.

Very thought provoking, and provided many helpful ideas or suggestions to help me grow in my faith as well as to become a,mentor.

Good book if you are or aren't a spiritual person

This book is great for beginners who want some tips on how to disciple others. It also is a good reminder for us who have been in the field for a long time. It is full of practical ideas and helpful tips.

This is a valuable resource for anyone learning to disciple other women or being discipled by someone. From setting the expectations to what to talk about in a disciple relationship. So great!!

The best book of doing ministry and discipleship of Christ. Good to read as in Bible study as well in book club.

Practical and clear! A book every mentor should have in their toolbox. Will be recommending and gifting this book often!

A fair mentoring book, but I do prefer Susan Hunt’s Spiritual Mothering: The Titus 2 Model for Women Mentoring Women.
