Mentoring His Way - Mentor's Guide Volume 2: Personal Characteristics of a Godly Life

by Roy L Comstock

Overview

This is the Mentor's Guide for the second of a three-volume series called, Mentoring His Way - Disciple Twelve based on the "Twelve Characteristics of a Godly Life". In this second book, we learn about the four "Personal Characteristics of a Godly Life." Being Physically Pure - I belong to God and honor Him with every part of my body.The first personal characteristic of living a Godly life is about how we are to use our bodies. To exemplify the person of Christ, we need to control our bodies by putting them under the control of the Holy Spirit. The body manifests the values of the spirit and soul. Our values and character are developed deep within our soul. Our character is manifested through the body by our behavior. When the body is under the control of the Holy Spirit, it is an obedient servant.Being Love Motivated - I love my family more than I love myself.The second personal characteristic of a Godly life is understanding the importance of the family. In no other place is it more important to remember that our purpose as Christians is to conform to the image of Christ. To have a Godly life, we need to make love our motive in all relationships, especially relationships within our family. Love needs to be the golden thread that holds our families togetherBeing Extremely Valued - I know and love who I am in Christ. I am extremely valued.The third personal characteristic of a Godly life is about the person - primarily our self-image. As others emulate our lives, it is important that we exemplify a positive attitude about who we are in Christ. To do this, we must first know how special we are to our Heavenly Father, because of our relationship in Christ.Being Christ-actualized - I am Christ-actualized rather than self-actualized. The fourth personal characteristic of a Godly life is learning how to apply motivation. Motivation is the inner drive in each of us that keeps us continuously striving toward the attainment of the goals we have set until such attainment is achieved. Having a Godly Life means that we are motivated to become like Christ.Volume One covers the "Spiritual Characteristics of a Godly Life."Volume Three covers the "Lifestyle Characteristics of a Godly Life."

About the Author

Dr. Roy Comstock is the author of Mentoring His Way, Disciple Twelve. He and his wife Sarah, co-founded the Christian Mentors Network in 2000. Roy is a man who has had many unique life experiences. In his early childhood days, he was forced to adapt to living in fourteen different foster homes. As an ambitious businessman, he saw the rise and fall of his own multi-million-dollar corporation, which led to the humbling adjustment of a life in prison confinement. This was a lesson in what can happen to a Christian who dares to take their eyes off Jesus for a time.

This book has not been written by a perfect man or by one whose life has always been a model for others to follow. Roy's life has not always been easy. He, like all true Christians, has been and is a work of God "in process." We may call this Roy Comstock's "Prison Epistle," since much of this material was written while he was serving a prison term.

Roy experienced major failure to his marriage, his business, and his personal life because of his misguided focus on self rather than on Christ. But Roy repented and turned to Christ in a deeper way than ever before. He cried out to the Lord concerning his own life, and the Lord responded not only to his needs, but also taught him insights that can be of great help to anyone who desires to truly follow Jesus Christ. It was during his time in prison that the Lord revealed many of the principles that Roy calls the "Twelve Characteristics of a Godly Life."

Roy and his wife Sarah, live in Valencia, California.
