“For more than 35 years I have known, loved, and admired Howie Hendricks. I am not alone. He has left his mark on thousands of lives. In a real sense, only he knows the mentoring secrets that have marked men for a lifetime. I'm grateful he has decided to put into print his mentoring guidelines and techniques. They are threads drawn from the fabric of God's timeless tapestry. Men of Influence will be the classic on mentoring. I commend Howie and his son Bill for this contribution to our lives.”

“Mentoring, as my good friend Howard and his son Bill suggest, is one of the most powerful yet under-utilized disciplines for men today. My life would not have taken the course it did without the input of a few key men along the way. As a coach, I saw firsthand the difference between players who had trusted mentors, and those who unfortunately did not. This straightforward book will inspire and motivate you in a profound way. I highly recommend it.”
