Christian Youth Work
Description
The statistics are brutally clear. One thousand teenagers a week are leaving the church. Support among young people is decaying fast. For every church that has a flourishing youth group, there are three more that have none.
Mark Ashton and Phil Moon, both experienced youth leaders, put forward a strategy for youth work which is both radical and biblical:
‘Christian youth work must be different from all other forms of youth work. It must be distinct in its aim, because Christians have a unique view of what it is to be a human being... We want to give Christians a renewed vision for young people, a new confidence in what they can do for them, how they can do it and why they should do it.’

Read it
Top stuff. Biblical, challenging, strips away the unhelpful. Read it. 
Essential
Mark and Phil have written a book that every youth worker must read. I have thought through my stratgery of youth work using the Bible and this book. It is essential reading and worth it's weight in gold...in fact, pure, refined gold!
