Youthworks have recently launched a brand new youth leadership book, Youth Ministry on the Front Foot. I have a chapter in there… but don’t let that stop you getting a copy!! I haven’t read it in its final form, but am looking forward to gleaning wisdom from the experienced youth pastors who contributed. Intro blurbs etc below.
Youth are our future, right?
No! The future of our youth lies in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The truth is, the youth of any generation need to hear and accept this gospel! Youth Ministry on the Front Foot tackles the unique opportunities and challenges of ministry to this age group through the wisdom of experienced youth ministers with a passion for seeing teenagers come to Christ. The biblical principles and practical advice in these pages on key issues such as social media, discipling and leader accountability are ideal for youth ministers, church leaders and anyone interested in youth ministry. Application guides in each chapter also contain helpful questions, checklists and diagrams for your youth ministry context.

Youth Ministry on the Front Foot is a welcome addition to Youthworks’ Front Foot series. Here is a resource that I wish I’d had as a youth leader, with pithy chapters on a range of issues that confront everyone involved in youth ministry. All the chapters are written by trusted practitioners whose experience and theological acumen provide much food for thought, with principles to adopt and pitfalls to avoid. I commend this volume wholeheartedly. Glenn Davies, Bishop of North Sydney
I don’t take youth ministry books lightly simply because I don’t take youth ministry lightly. Building and reaching the youth of today is a herculean task that needs the clear thinking and wisdom that can only come through God’s word. This book is full of God-honouring, helpful and practical teaching for anyone serious about youth ministry. Strongly recommended. Ken Moser, Professor of Youth Ministry, Briercrest College and Seminary, Canada
This is a labour of love; love for Jesus and love for youth. It is an excellent resource, full of applied biblical wisdom, to stimulate and equip those who share these loves and a desire to be more effective in their own context of helping young people to know and grow in their relationship with the Lord. Bill Salier, Vice Principal, Moore Theological College, Sydney
Purchased a copy of this a couple of weeks ago. Haven’t started reading it yet, but looks great from what I’ve flipped through so far. Didn’t realise you were in there Dave!

Surely authors get sent one for free?!?

our comments were read… the reason i didn’t have one yet was because some copies got sent to my old address! hoping they’ve found them helpful!! haha
We’re onto it Dave – the gang at the warehouse were packing them today. Apologies for the mix up!
