Mentoring Warriors is an encouraging approach to seeing God’s potential in a person. This book helps to develop the skills to maximize effectiveness and encourages the relational process of time and patience as these God given gifts emerge. With a sage perspective, David Riffel encourages and inspires with a timely challenge. This is not a "one-size-fits-all" approach, but has a foundation built through trust and solid principles to maximize effectiveness.

Our world, our culture and our family is in need of healthy mentorship, and David Riffel delivers. – Dan Russell, 4x NCAA Wrestling Champion, Olympic Wrestling Coach.

Young men need mentors, they always have, and they need them now more than ever. But a mentor-less man grows into an unexperienced mentor. David Riffel's Mentoring Warriors is a great tool for developing the skills and the heart of a mentor. By helping older men become the mentors the world needs Mentoring Warriors is helping the young men who would otherwise go it alone their whole life.    – Sam Eldredge, coauthor of Killing Lions, Executive Director, And Sons Magazine, Outreach Director for Millennial Men for Ransomed Heart Ministries.

What you hold in your hands (or see on your screen, if in digital format), is both an inspiration and a truly valuable tool on the topic of mentoring, particularly as it applies to "warriors" (young men, between the ages of 18 and 30). David writes as a practitioner. While he has a solid grasp of the biblical and sociological basis for mentoring, he candidly shares from his own experiences of mentoring many diverse young men. This resource will be of benefit to both those of us who, older in life and experience, choose to pour into the lives of younger men as one of the best investments we could make, as well as to those young men who are seeking the invaluable blessing that mentoring can bring into their unfolding lives. Spend time learning and being energized by what David has to share. You won't regret it! – Norm Leduc, Deputy Director, Arab World Media, Division of Pioneers. Orlando, FL.

Tackling the challenging topic of how to be a mentor and how to be mentored, David brings his decades of mentoring practice to the page. Insightful and transparent, David shares himself and his experience. Going deeper into the "hows" and "whys" of good mentoring practices, he brings practical, biblical based advice for those desiring to make a significant difference in the lives of others. – Jeff Turner, TNW Group, Founder and Former CEO, Spirit Aerosystems.

Mentoring Warriors provides an invaluable trifecta for anyone interested in ongoing effective mentoring relationships: practical insight, effective examples, and timeless relevant truth from God’s Word. I, for one, will have this resource on my shelf as a reference and regular refresher so that I can be guided in effective mentoring. – Jeff Terrell, Senior Pastor, Ascend Church-Kansas City.
