Customer Reviews

Very challenging and thought-provoking
Review by Neville Hayman | 28.05.2008

An excellent book, very easy to read but extremely challenging for all those involved in youth work. Quite a few typos and obvious cultural differences for a UK reader - however, these points do not detract from a most worthwhile read. Now to put some of those ideas into practice...

Fruit that will last
Review by Mr David Thornton | 16.09.2004

Excellent book for any leading youth groups to encourage us to think through what we are trying to do and how we are trying to do it.

This book with its strong Biblical focus leads you through developing a Biblical purpose, mission, strategy and programme. If you're feeling that your group exists from week to week and year to year, and you want help to break out from that, read this book and act on it! Also buy it for your church leader and the rest of your youth team.

It could certainly also be used to help you think through a strategy in children's work and in the wider church.
