Spiritual mentoring, or discipleship, is a relational process that requires people to become actively involved in their faith.

There is nothing more fundamental to the Christian faith and to building Godly men than discipleship. Authentic discipleship can best be described as spiritual mentoring. At a time when many men are struggling with their faith and church attendance is on the decline, we must ask ourselves some tough questions.

In Finishing Well, Finishing Strong, Jim Grassi explores what spiritual manhood looks like and how men can focus on finishing the race well. God is calling men to live a life of perseverance and resilience and not to quit when the going gets tough. Dr. Grassi helps men discover the difference between having worldly success and living for spiritual significance. Men will feel motivated, empowered, and equipped to set the example for future generations by living so that others may follow their example as they follow Christ.

Many men struggle to overcome barriers or obstacles that create annoying distractions which divert them from living a joyful and purposeful life.

This book contains biblical insights and practical approaches to conquer fear, anxieties, temptations, pride, and the stresses that steal creative energy and drain spirits.

We are to share the good news of forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ and urge all people to forsake their sins and follow the Lord.
