“Robin Cox offers wisdom and encouragement in this comprehensive and marvelously accessible volume. The clear and descriptive section and chapter headings provide easy access to content that has an engaging balance of theory, real life stories, strategy, tips, encouragement—and inspiration! I highly recommend this fine book as the go-to resource for anyone committed to walking alongside young people, to guide and support them on their journey of awakening to their unique potential.”
“As author of this vital book on mentoring, Robin Cox proves to be a ‘wise guide.’ He presents a compassionate and carefully considered view of what it means to be a mentor to young people, and how, as adults, we might embrace this role well. The reflections Robin presents from young people say so much. We may long for the energy of our youth, but time and experience give us both the wisdom of understanding and the understanding required to share our wisdom well. Being a mentor, provides a great opportunity for adults to guide, support and listen to young people as they find their own way forward.”
