This book recounts the story of a relationship which occasions the discipleship of a young man through his first steps with God. The restoration of the car is a good idea as far as the telling of the story goes, though the book can get caught up more with answering questions that with just telling a story. ( )I really liked the premise of this book: too often churches dictate what discipleship should look like and this book challenges the idea that you must sit over coffee and talk for an hour a week about your life and how God is working in it. Unfortunately, the book was really too short to delve into a true relationship. I wanted more. I found that the footnotes really detracted as well from the story. Did the authors mean to write a story about a relationship or were they trying to educate us on different churches and their requirements? It was confusing. I thought I would be moved emotionally by their tale but that wasn't too be. Perhaps the feedback they receive on these early reviewers books will spur them on to revamping the final work. **I received a free advanced copy of this book in exchange for my review** Ressenya escrita per a CrÃtics Matiners de LibraryThing . Whoops! I never finished reading this book and forgot I hadn't reviewed it. It had a fine enough premise, but it just lacked the spark that would make the exchanges and personal growth meaningful to me. Interestingly, it was the adult role-model who admitted to the most growth, with his assumptions rudely challenged by the young man he was supposedly mentoring. Ressenya escrita per a CrÃtics Matiners de LibraryThing . This is a short look at discipleship and how it works through the lens of a man working with a difficult subject. They restore a car together, encounter bumps along the way in their relationship. I think it's a good honest look at the realities of a discipling relationship. It keeps your attention pretty well, through stories and commentary. Ressenya escrita per a CrÃtics Matiners de LibraryThing . Ted Kluck becomes friends with Dallas. They have very little in common, so rather than usual model of mentoring/discipleship, the mentoring takes place in the garage as they work together to restore an old car. Ted mentors Dallas regarding the walk of faith and Dallas mentors Ted regarding mechanics. They grow together and become friends. Dallas learns to walk with the Lord through temptations and challenges. The chapters alternate between those written first-person by Ted, and those written first person by Dallas.Not a how-to book, but presents a life-style model of mentoring.
