No man becomes great on his own. It takes a mentor. Luke Skywalker had Yoda. The Karate Kid had Mr. Miyagi. And G. F. Watkins had a mentor by the name of Edwin Louis Cole, the father of modern men’s ministry. G.F Watkins’ deeply personal account of his relationship with Cole makes for good reading – and points Christians to the indispensable role that man-to-man mentoring plays in the Kingdom of God.
We live with a generation of spiritual orphans! The greatest need of the Church today is to bring legitimacy to these orphans. The only way to accomplish this is through a spiritual father. Pastor G.F. Watkins is himself a spiritual son of the late Dr. Edwin Cole and has captured not only Dr. Cole’s heart in this area but has struck at the very heart cry of the Church. This book is a must for all of us!
G.F. Watkins is a doer, not a talker. Dreaming without doing is foolishness, the proverb reads-so is reading without doing.
This is a book for doers who read. Thank you G. F. for being a doer, for studying, practicing, writing and challenging men today.
A handbook for sons on how to pay tribute as a son & honor your father This book personifies who Pastor GF is and what he does. The book is a challenge & call to real manhood, an understanding of the mandate given to be about our father’s business. Every man must read this book to complete his circle of life, finish strong and pass the baton.
Elijah, but he has put it together in a way that makes it a life-changing experience for the reader. I highly endorse G.F. Watkins, his commitment to Christ, and his love for making true disciples by turning Boy Scouts into true soldiers of the cross in this powerful army of God.”
I have known G.F. for 64 years and can attest to the fact that he can talk the talk because he has always walked the walk, making me a proud father.
