Being a teenager may well be more challenging today than at any time in recent years - and being a Christian teenager presents further challenges. Increasingly, the role of the mentor is being seen as key in helping young people to make right choices and learn to live well, so that they are equipped to find a safe path to maturity.
This book offers practical guidance to those who feel called to mentoring 13 - 18 year olds in a faith context, with a view to nurturing them towards leadership roles. Linked to CPAS's course Growing Leaders - Youth Edition, it also works as a stand-alone resource. It defines mentoring, analyses the necessary skills and attributes of a mentor today, encourages good practice, and above all considers how to help young people identify their gifts and grow as Christian disciples.
