Book Description

In their introduction, the authors write, "This book...will provoke your thinking about what a God-bearing ministry with, for, and by adolescents might look like." Dean and Foster identify a 'paradigm-shift' or fundamental change in contemporary youth ministry, and consequently advocates a radical re-evaluation of the traditional methods used by youth leaders. Filled to the brim with food for thought, this book contains a good mix of theory and practice: readers are provided with a variety of new approaches to youth ministry and encourages to engage in faith-building and self-awareness with help from questions and exercises at the end of each chapter.
