"""Cultivating Mentors illustrates multiple ways to establish a healthy ecosystem for relational mentoring in an increasingly diverse academic landscape. With a focus on faculty flourishing and student success in the contexts of rapidly changing academic and professional environments, this timely volume directs educators to practical tools for cultivating faith and vocational discernment in tandem with fostering a powerful sense of faith-based community on their university campuses."" Karen A. Lee, provost and professor of English at Wheaton College ""This book is aimed especially at leaders of Christian higher education, who in an age of digitization and diversity are recruiting the next generation of teacher-scholars for their schools. The contributors ground their assessment in a theology of vocation, they are alert to the changing culture of contemporary young adults, and they offer hard-won wisdom concerning the institutional dynamics of colleges and universities. Careful attention to theory seasoned by numerous specific examples make for unusually compelling reading."" Mark A. Noll, Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History Emeritus, University of Notre Dame"

McAnaney Professor of History Emeritus, University of Notre Dame ""The editors of Cultivating Mentors have enlisted an outstanding group of experienced Christian educators who highlight the challenges of the younger generation of Christians, in particular Millennials and Gen Z, as revealed in thousands of interviews conducted by the Barna Group. The authors provide specific proposals to administrators for providing helpful mentoring for junior faculty at Christian colleges."" -- Edwin M. Yamauchi, professor of history emeritus, Miami University ""The context for mentoring has changed enormously in recent years, and the roles of mentor and mentee now frequently oscillate. Cultivating Mentors explores this new terrain where generational differences and cultural diversities are taken seriously and where personal flourishing receives intensified attention. With insights from a multitude of organizational and generational perspectives, this volume will encourage fresh thinking across the full spectrum of institutional roles in Christian higher education."" -- Douglas Jacobsen and Rhonda Hustedt Jacobsen, authors of Scholarship and Christian Faith ""The lasting impact and endurance of our Christian universities relies squarely on the strength and vitality of each generation of leaders—from student to professor to president—to sustain the mission through challenging times. Who among us in academia can imagine succeeding without forerunners who mentor us by making 'a way in the wilderness'? Cultivating Mentors: Sharing Wisdom in Christian Higher Education is a volume that places a call on each of us to cultivate collegial relationships at every age and stage to produce flourishing careers for flourishing institutions. With an impressive cadre of contributors that spans various roles within higher education, this book offers valuable insight and encouragement for all on the journey."" -- Steven D. Mason, president and professor of Old Testament studies at LeTourneau University ""Scripture is replete with commands of cherishing ancient wisdom, living under truth, and teaching it to the next generations. Mentoring colleagues and students in higher education is one way to obey these commands in our vocation. The voices in this volume helps us be faithful in the good work of mentoring, from generation to generation. May the words herein provide instruction and inspiration to be faithful stewards of such a trust."" -- Edee Schulze, vice president for student life at Westmont College ""This outstanding book brings together desperately needed fresh thinking on mentorship from scholars who are real-life beneficiaries and practitioners of mentoring. These essays offer a kaleidoscopic look at the beauty of theologically informed mentorship and show us why it is so necessary. We can all be thankful that such a thoughtful guidebook is now available at this kairos moment in Christian higher education."" -- Todd L. Lake, vice president for spiritual development at Belmont University ""Good mentorship is one of the most powerful and sacred relationships we can offer to the future generation of leaders. This book is an invaluable resource for helping us think about how to establish and sustain these relationships."" -- Nancy Brickhouse, provost and professor of education at Baylor University
