Today Samuel and Kelly did a quick look at the essentials of a mentoring meeting. Those elements would include 1) Listening, 2) Information and biblical wisdom, 3) homework and accountability and 4) Prayer. During the podcast, we talked about an important book entitled The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce by Judith Wallerstein. This excerpt is from the publisher:
In this compelling, thought-provoking book, Judith Wallerstein explains that, while children do learn to cope with divorce, it in fact takes its greatest toll in adulthood, when the sons and daughters of divorced parents embark on romantic relationships of their own. Wallerstein sensitively illustrates how children of divorce often feel that their relationships are doomed, seek to avoid conflict, and fear commitment. Failure in their loving relationships often seems to them preordained, even when things are going smoothly. As Wallerstein checks in on the adults she first encountered as youngsters more than twenty-five years ago, she finds that their experiences mesh with those of the millions of other children of divorce, who will find themselves on every page.
