31 Truths to Shape Your Youth Ministry

by Richard Ross

This book is designed for every adult who believes teenagers are important to King Jesus and His Kingdom: adults prayerfully considering a leadership role with teenagers; adults early in their ministries with teenagers; seasoned youth leaders looking for fresh wind in their sails; parents who want God’s best for their teenage children and their friends; adults who bless and impact teenagers through informal relationships; pastors and church leaders who help shape the church’s ministry with teenagers; youth pastors who have plenty of technical books but want one for the heart.

The book champions: teenagers who adore King Jesus in the power of the Spirit for the glory of God; teenagers who love God, love people, and make disciples for a lifetime; parents who embrace their call to be the primary spiritual leaders to their children; parents who treasure Christ and His Kingdom above all other things; teenagers who have heart connections with all the generations in the congregation; churches that equip teenagers and then mobilize them to be the church today.
