How to Thrive in Youth Ministry

Youth ministry is one of the most emotionally charged and rewarding ministries one can be called to. It may also be the most difficult and frustrating ministry you find yourself in. Dealing with pastors, parents, and parishioners, youth ministry is filled with challenges that many youth pastors are not equipped to handle--questions they can't answer, situations they are not prepared for, expectations they are unaware they must meet.
As it is common in the modern church to appoint first and train later, this resource offers a bridge between the two. It is a book that deals with many of the challenges of youth ministry, providing insight and direction where none might be offered. It is a collection of lessons learned the hard way so you don't have to.
