"Pathways: The Road to Mentoring" is a compilation of five studies by five SBC students. It is a suitable handbook written in an easy-to-read style (through use of anecdotes, case studies, songs, story-telling of real-life experiences, discussion questions, prayers, reflections, suggested reading lists, etc.) for Bible Study group members and for individuals interested in one-on-one mentoring, outreach or missions. This book is a call to journey with …

• Andrew who has helped Asian university students before and after their decision for Christ in a Creative Access Nation (CAN) in the section "Students Without A Shepherd."

• Ron who has been discipled and motivated by one man to help other men grow in their faith in Christ in "Man To Man."

• Sal who alerts missionary trainees to seven areas of mission preparation in "Mentoring Missionaries-In-Training."

• Joan who shares difficulties, joys and challenges of ministry to slum women and children in a CAN in "Ministry To Slum Women And Children In Third World Cities."

• Pauline who offers glimpses into the happiness and heartaches of building bridges cross-culturally in an Asian mega-city, assisting people to connect with Christ in "Building Bridges Cross-Culturally."

This collection opens our eyes to the happenings on the mission field in this day and age. It is a heartfelt sharing of lives and experiences. This is a good read for anyone who would like to gain a greater insight into reaching others for Christ.

Sally Tee, a former secondary school teacher, writes about her experience as a co-writer of the book:

"It was a great learning experience. It was important to have a lecturer, coach or teacher who helped motivate us to look at the final goal – the glory of God and the book being a blessing to those who pick it up and read it. Also, there was a lot of praying, teamwork and group brainstorming about the content, editing, proofreading. We all owned this project. Everyone was involved. There was no emphasis on who was doing more or less. That is also why we are all helping to promote this book together.
