Spiritual Mentorship: How to be a Spiritual Father or Mother
About this book
1Cor. 4:14-15 “I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you. For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers....”The body of Christ has been good about “instructing people in Christ”. We have our church fellowships, our small groups, men’s groups, women’s groups, youth groups, Bible studies, etc. But as Paul warns, we don’t have many spiritual fathers and mothers, one-on-one spiritual mentors. It’s the missing component in our ministry model. Paul writes that he was a spiritual father to Timothy and to Titus. Peter was a spiritual father to John Mark. This book will give you an outline on how to spiritually mentor individuals so that you can fulfill the Great Commission (Matt. 28:19-20).I have watched Terry Felber live out the Great Commission in Matt. 28:18-20 in the marketplace and in the body of Christ since arriving in Southwest Florida to serve in my role with the Christian Television Network. Terry has always been a father and mentor, and has been on the frontlines leading and making disciples. This book is needed in this hour.— PAUL LODATO, General Manager, Christian Television Network, Southwest, FLIn a season when spiritual fathers and mentors are hard to find, God has raised up Terry Felber. God has given Terry a loving heart of compassion for men and women of all ages who have a genuine desire to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. His Spirit-filled words and his father’s heart have guided many sons and daughters to become clay in the Potter’s hands. Reading this book will educate, guide and inspire you, and will impart to you a mantle of true discipleship.— GASPAR ANASTASI, Pastor/Founder of Word of Life Ministries, Freeport, NY & Ft. Myers, FL., President of Global Church FellowshipTerry’s book has tremendously blessed me. I believe it will be an eye opener for you to understand God’s eternal purpose of father/son order on earth.— DR. KAMANDA ROBERT, Pastor/Founder of Amen Commission 2X2, Kampala, UgandaTerry has been our spiritual father for almost three decades. This book is a culmination of his life’s work. We can hear his voice as we read every word of this book. Discipleship is the essence of life, and not only does he teach it well, he lives it well.— CHAS AND LAURIE WINKLE, Entrepreneurs, Founders of Love, Serve, Feed Ministries, Hutto, TexasTerry and this precious book are the answer to our prayers. The privilege to have him as a spiritual father has blessed us and transformed our lives. We’re grateful for the impact this will make.— CHRIS AND ELENA KALLINKOS, Entrepreneurs, Home Church Fellowship, Athens, GreeceMost people would agree that having a mentor is essential to achieving anything meaningful in life. There is no area more important to our eternal destiny than understanding and practicing what God wrote to us in His word. The Bible talks about having a spiritual father or mother. As someone who has been personally mentored by Terry, I wholeheartedly recommend this book as a guide.— PETER BALON, Entrepreneur, Bardejov, SlovakiaSpiritual Mentorship by Terry Felber is a much needed book for the body of Christ. Not only will this book help new converts be properly disciplined with sound doctrine; it will help ground those who have been serving the Lord for years. I personally look forward to using the book to disciple people.— PJ ANASTASI, Senior Pastor, Word of Life Ministries, Ft. Myers, FL
