Dallas, the Spitfire, and Mentoring

Last updated on: May 17, 2012 at 11:25 am   By Bruce Epperly

Dallas and the Spitfire is a description of redemption through mentoring.  Author Ted Kluck experiences a call not only to befriend former addict and ex-convict Dallas Janke.  Ted “disciples” Janke, helping him to deepen his emerging, but fragile, faith, and challenging him to walk the straight and narrow.  For Janke, the Bible is the text book of discipling and mentoring, and although Janke claims to be non-dogmatic and pokes fun at the legalism of fundamentalists, it is clear that Janke... Read more
