LOVER OF LIFE: F W BOREHAM'S TRIBUTE TO HIS MENTOR

(Paperback)

This is a tantalizing sketch of Joseph John Duke, a Baptist Minister, artist and author, who was born in 1861 and ministered in England, New Zealand and South Africa.

It is the stirring account of a frail man who became a fighter against discriminating legislation and an advocate with Mahatman Ghandi in championing the freedom of Indians in South Africa.

As well as serving as pastor of the Johannesburg Baptist church, Doke participated in protests, contributed to newspapers and had the distinction of writing the first biography of Mahatma Ghandi.

In 1913 he visited Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) to explore a new development for the South African Baptist Missionary Society and died tragically on the way home.

This book was published in 1948 and is sadly out of print and difficult to obtain. The decision has been taken to republish this book to provide an illustration of an effective mentoring relationship.

Nothing New about Mentoring

Many people today speak about mentoring as if it is a new phenomenon about which contemporary leaders should be engaged. It has been called by different names (supervision, curacy, spiritual director) but the practice has been around forever and was superbly practiced by J.J. Doke and F.W. Boreham, in his inimitable way, tells stories of how it worked for him and how pivotal such a relationship was in his own life and ministry.
