Customer Reviews

A basic intro to mentoring.

For someone interested in becoming a marriage mentor, this book by the good Drs. Parrott will give you some good ideas on getting things rolling. For experienced mentors, you might find a few ideas here, but nothing profound. The book is, like all of the Drs.' books, very readable, but it is also very basic and light on content. I happened to have my copy in my car when I went to a Doctor's appointment and read it in the waiting room in about an hour. Easy read. Good basics. A few good ideas. Nothing new here for veteran mentors. A good introduction to new mentors.
