Reverse Mentoring

Earl Creps is a superb communicator with the passion, courage, and vulnerability to hang out with younger people who mentor him enthusiastically. This book is a refreshing, innovative perspective that all other mentoring books miss. -Gary R. Collins, PhD, School of Psychology and Counseling, Regent University This book will help satisfy a deep hunger for wisdom and guidance. -John Ortberg, pastor, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church; author, The Life You've Always Wanted The world has ended about four times. New technologies and processes for handling information make the old world obsolete, quickly. When this happens an unusual dynamic asserts itself. Younglings mentor the elders into the way of the new world. The richness of life sharing that is established in reverse mentoring is a largely unexplored, but promising green edge to the Christian movement. Let Earl Creps show you how to get in on this development. -Reggie McNeal, author, The Present Future Unfortunately, those of us who've been around for awhile find it difficult to listen to those who haven't. What could they ever teach us? No question this prevalent attitude is much to our disadvantage as we lose touch with the future of Christ's church. So how can we learn to be quiet for once and listen? And why should we founts of wisdom even consider it? Earl Creps provides us with a compelling answer in Reverse Mentoring. This is a must-read for all generations who love Christ's church. -Aubrey Malphurs, lead navigator, The Malphurs Group; senior professor, Dallas Seminary And I thought I was cool, that I had put the 'hip' back in discipleship! But after experiencing Reverse Mentoring, I have discovered it was an 'artificial hip.' It reminded me how much younger leaders have helped me, and it motivated me to get down to Starbucks or wherever I can spend some time with them. -Bill Hull, author, Jesus Christ Disciple Maker, The Disciple Making Pastor and The Disciple Making Church Yikes. We've been nattering on about apprenticeship and formation forever, but we've often studiously ignored some of our best teachers. Brilliantly incisive and yet Monday-morning practical, this warm, vital book might just nudge the church into a long overdue revolution. -Jeff Lucas, author, speaker, broadcaster
