A Letter to the Church and the Next Generation

As a "doer of the word," himself, Robin Jennings brings an impassioned sensitivity to the first chapter of the Letter of James, realizing its valuable guidance for anyone given the responsibility of mentoring the faithful in an ever-changing world. He illuminates in detail James's ideal of a spiritual companion essential to developing the vocation of the individual Christian and sustaining the vitality of the body of Christ as a whole. In his writing, as in his parochial ministry, Robin provides a model for the encouraging and empowering companionship that James imagines and the Church continually needs.-The Rt. Rev. Mark Hollingsworth, Jr., Bishop of Ohio This book arrives with God's perfect timing. Church abandonment by the young is at an all-time high. Multigenerational mentoring and deep discipleship have become, sadly, a lost art. The Rev. Robin Jennings draws insightfully upon the wisdom of James to create this readable, valuable, and biblically-rooted resource for Christian mentors working with young adults and emerging leaders.-John W. Kyle, PhD. Executive National Director, The Fellows Initiative
