Praise for Face to Face
Jayme Hull is an amazing woman who practices what she preaches, and it has been my absolute delight to mentor her over the past year as shes been preparing to release the phenomenal book you hold in your hands. When you get to know Jayme, youll understand how passionate she is about having a mentor, and being a mentor. I believe Face to Face is not just a ministry but a movement that will equip the body of Christ to more effectively pass the baton of faith from one generation to the next!
SHANNON ETHRIDGE, author, Every Womans Battle series and founder of the B.L.A.S.T. Mentoring Program (Building Leaders, Authors, Speakers & Teachers)
Years ago, Jayme Hull walked and prayed with me through some of the toughest years of my life. She took me under her wing and began teaching me how to apply Gods Word to my daily life. Face to Face is a beautifully written guide that teaches both mentors and mentees how to take the journey together to find purpose and understanding through Jesus Christ. This book is so real and uplifting and it will stay by my bedside for years to come.
NATALIE HEMBY, Nashville songwriter
Life is complicated and often difficult. Too many people are filling their lives with regrets and if onlys. But it doesnt have to be that way! In her book Face to Face, Jayme Hull demonstrates how people can prosper from the wisdom, encouragement, and counsel of others along their journey. Brimming with wisdom, this book will inform, encourage, and inspire you!
RICHARD BLACKABY, coauthor, Experiencing God
One of the most pressing needs of this generation is for strong mentoring relationships. In the Scriptures, there was Elijah and Elisha, Naomi and Ruth, Paul and Timothy, andmost importantlythe Lord Jesus Christ and His faithful disciples. Jayme Hull has written a spiritual and practical guide to developing a heart and game plan for mentoring others. You will be tremendously encouraged and blessed by this anointed book Face to Face.
ELLEN OLFORD, director of womens ministries at Central Church, Memphis, TN
Face to Face is an essential tool for the journey of mentor relationships for both the mentee and mentor. It walks you through hard steps that come in life, guiding the best way to find, embrace, learn, and grow from a mentor. The author provides important reminders that God is the foundation on which those relationships stand.
