I would argue that most of us need mentors in one or more area of our lives all the time. But, how do you know when and where you need a mentor?

You need a mentor when you are plateaued or puzzled in a key area of life.

It may be a personal area of life, or it may lean more towards the vocational or professional side of things, but when you notice a plateau- a sustained lack of growth- or an increasing number of unanswered questions, that is a clue that you need a mentor in that area.

However, you may recall (assuming you have read it) that the last step of the last phase of the Release system was to Pick your Partners:

“Life is meant to be lived in community. You need to take responsibility for your own values and decisions and direction, but once your course is set, you need help to keep the habits to reach your goals and realize your dreams.” (page 131-32, Release)

Release Now on Kindle

by

book3d_150I’m very happy to announce that Release: A Wilderness Adventure of the Soul is now available for Amazon Kindle.

This has been a long time coming, and now with plans for my new book DNA of a Christ Follower to go on Kindle as well, I decided setting up Release on Amazon would also make sense.

So it’s there, priced at $4.49 USD as of this moment.

There has been an issue with getting the five sketches in the book, done by my friend Dave Watland, to show properly on all devices, but they are not essential to the book and will soon be remedied.

You can of course still get Release in paperback for $19 plus shipping:

So, if you haven’t picked up Release in any version yet, now’s your chance to get it in either Kindle or softcover. cabin

It’s still early enough in the year for this book to make a huge difference in your 2016. And, it won’t be long before the much-awaited Release Manual will be coming along.

So read the book, and get ready for personal growth!
