Overview

Think about what you deal with daily. Maybe you suffer the wear and tear of long commutes and even longer work days. Or you find yourself juggling endless emails, phone calls, and text messages. Noise. Chatter. Crowds. Politics. Talk radio. Television. Bills. Worries. Responsibilities. Deadlines. Endless chores. Demanding children. Relational bruises.

Life wears on us. We can’t evade most of it, and that’s not really the solution anyway. What we need to do is protect the most important part of us . . . that deep down, soulish part of life that links us with our Creator.

In The Divine Mentor, you will discover how to enjoy a dynamic, vital, and intimate relationship with God as you learn to hear him speak daily through the Bible. You’ll embark on an adventure that will introduce you to His handpicked mentors, men and women who may save your health, your marriage, your ministry, and your future.

Wayne Cordeiro challenges you to develop a lifelong habit—the one thing Jesus says is truly necessary—that will preserve your soul, establish your legacy, and hold God’s Living Word inside you.

In the Logos edition of this volume, Scripture passages link to your favorite Bible translation in your library. With Logos’ advanced features, you can perform powerful searches by topic or Scripture reference—finding, for example, every mention of “spiritual formation” or “leadership.”

Top Highlights

“Encouragement is God’s native tongue. But encouragement without change is like a bicycle with only one pedal. Our participation is required. Encouragement turns into hope when His instructions find our ready acceptance and application.” (Page 10)

“If Consequences has a back-end price, Wisdom has a front-end price. It requires discipline, obedience, consistency, and above all else, time.” (Page 30)

“If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them” (Page 107)

“God is intimately acquainted with our ways, and He’s more concerned about transformation than information. Our daily times in the Word are not necessarily designed to produce theologians. The primary purpose is to produce disciples. When we enter the Bible, we don’t enter to study it as much as we allow it to study us!” (Page 140)

“The Bible is the predominant way God speaks to us. If we put aside that primary channel of divine communication, then soon we will open ourselves to all manner of fanciful thinking.” (Page 85)
