Other information
'Our youth group had a reputation for being successful. Other churches looked to our model because it drew large numbers. Three years ago we started to move toward the approach outlined in this book. Change has been gradual and there were difficulties. Today things are different. Increasingly the young people are keen to do Christian things. Among many signs of change are good attendance at teen prayer meetings, growth in participation in small groups and the popularity of active service in ministries at church as well as on short-term missions.'- Chris Newill
'We got a lot of flack when we changed the emphasis from entertainment to Bible teaching. Now as a result of loving our teenagers, building real relationships and teaching them the Bible, we have a great bunch of teenagers who love the Lord Jesus.'
- Hayley Ronne
'I've learned that good things don't happen instantly. They take time. i am inspired when I see how important solid fellowship, small group accountability and following Jesus has become to kids who are fairly 'rough around the edges'! Youth Church is a rock in a turbulent sea for them. It offers stability, love and most importantly the opportunity to meet the living Saviour. We must not underestimate teenagers. They have a great thirst and a strong desire to follow Him.'

A Great Help - Full of ideas based on a wealth of experience
I ordered this book with one or two others when I was drafted in at short notice as a temporary leader for our church youth group. I ended up discarding the other books quite quickly, but between this book and fervr.net I've got lots of good ideas which has really taken the pressure off me. I think this has helped immensely. Now I feel like I can relax and be myself. It helps if you can go into the meetings each week with confidence (they can smell your fear you know). ![]()
Changing the world
This is an excellent book which gives a good insight as to how to successfully run a Christian youth group. It looks at all issues including prayer, praise and games. I have tried some of the ideas with different groups and they work! ![]()
