When I am in my office, I am surrounded by several thousand mentors that sit on my bookshelves. Authors are virtual mentors. Some of them died hundreds of years ago. Others would never have time to meet with me one-on-one. But their writing is a form of mentoring.
I've heard that the average author takes about two years to write a book. So that means when I read a book I gain two years of life experience. Read a hundred books this year and you'll gain two hundred years of life experience.
For what it's worth, the thing I love about writing is that it's a way that I can hang out with someone for five hours. Or if they are a slow reader, even longer!

Thanks for the virtual mentorship.
Evotional,Digital Disciples, Virtual Mentoring, I just love this...thanks!
Well said! I'd rather have the book when I got to a $500 in-person seminar and at the end I buy the book and get 100% more out of it.
I'll have to tell this to the seminary. I'm def. due another degree! [ha]
