What is a mentor? A mentor is an experienced and trusted advisor. Titus 2:3-5 instructs older women to teach younger women, to be a mentor to help them become the Christians, wives, and mothers that God desires them to be.
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

In the book Face to Face, Jayme Hull explains not only the benefits of having a mentor, but some practical advice on how to find one, and wonderful guidance on how to navigate the relationship once it is established.
The book was well written, and interesting to read. It was well organized, starting with the reasons for mentoring, then moving on to finding a mentor, interacting with your mentor, and ending with becoming a mentor yourself.
From the back:
Whether you have a mentor, can't seem to find one, or haven't even thought to look, Jayme Hull walks you through every aspect of this critical relationship, including: its purpose, value and benefits; marks of a healthy mentoring relationship; initiating, navigating, and even ending a mentorship; becoming a mentor to others.
Packed with stories and anecdotes from Jayme's experience as both a mentor and a mentee - plus sprinklings of wisdom on balance, purpose, and change - Face to Face speaks to the heart of young women eager to grow in their faith. In her warm, personable style, Jayme offers advice on how to journey well with someone further along.
Face to Face definitely does everything that it sets out to do, and is well worth the read if you are interested in finding a mentor.
