Abstract
Having made a decision to quit printing many of these articles individually, it seemed necessary thento compile them into a larger volume that could be produced in electronic format as well as hard copy. Thisreader contains 11 articles of varying length dealing directly or indirectly with mentoring that Dr. Clintonwrote while teaching at Fuller.In addition to this Reader, he co-authored with his son, Dr. Richard Clinton, The Mentor Handbook
—Detailed Guidelines and Helps for
Christian Mentors and Mentorees
(1991). Further,
Dr. Clinton hasco-authored with Paul Stanley a popular treatment of mentoring,
Connecting—The MentoringRelationships You Need to Succeed in Life
(1992), published by NavPress.The following table of contents lists the ten and gives the context in which they occurred. Thesearticles are listed in a sequence moving from easiest to read and directly dealing with mentoring to moreindirectly dealing with mentoring and finally with very detailed practices that, Dr. Clinton, himself, uses inhis mentoring.
