Review

""Offering a foundational approach to youth ministry, Bill Myers relates theological themes to the lectionary, to life, to the Bible, and to youth culture in an imaginative way. He links theological vision and practical approaches in a way rarely found. I am enthusiastic about this volume."" Sara Little, Robert and Lucy Reynolds Critz Professor of Christian Education, Union Theological Seminary in Virginia ""Stories of people we know and experiences we recognize provide the web by which . . .Myers draws us into the magic of youth ministry. Skillfully woven, ...the author subtly invites us to an experience of self understanding as we enjoy a survey of the church year through imaginative programming for youth . . .This is an excellent book."" Carl S. Dudley, Professor of Church and Community, McCormick Theological Seminary ""Among the many books available on youth ministry, only a few ask questions and provide insights that take us deeper than techniques and programs . . . . This book is one of that select few that help us to see what is really at stake, what lies at the heart of ministry with youth. Myers tells stories and paints pictures that invite us to envision a way of being with youth that deserves the name of ministry."" Craig Dykstra, Thomas W. Synnott Professor of Christian Education, Princeton Theological Seminary "". . .A theological autobiography of a youth minister who is thinking theologically about the work and meaning of ministry with youth and not just for youth. ....He questions what is being done and seeks to bring renewal to the church's work of ministry with youth. Readers will be disturbed by its analyses, refreshed by his concepts, encouraged by his real-life experiences, roused by his ideas."" John M. Dettoni, Assistant Professor of Christian Formation and Discipleship, Fuller Theological Seminary
