If you long to reach kids and see their lives changed by God, this comprehensive guide shows you how. Purpose-Driven® Youth Ministry will do for youth ministry what Rick Warren's Gold Medallion award-winning, The Purpose-Driven® Church is doing for pastoral ministry. It's an indispensable guide to creating and maintaining youth ministry for the long run. It will help you create a solid spiritual team that builds the foundations of the Christian faith into the hearts and lives of young people. Forged around the fundamental purposes of and worship, Purpose-Driven® Youth Ministry uses the experiences of Saddleback Church to illustrate what a healthy Youth ministry can be. Nine transferable principles help you - Connect with the power of God for passionate, committed leadership - Define the purpose of your ministry and communicate it effectively - Identify your potential audience - Create programs that reach your audience and fulfill God's purposes - Implement processes that move students to maturity - Enhance your ministry with clearly defined values - Team up with parents to involve the whole family - Find volunteers and develop them into participating leaders - Persevere through tough times and thrive in an ever-changing environment. Balancing both theory and practice, Purpose-Driven® Youth Ministry can be applied to any church setting, regardless of size, denomination, facilities, resources, and existing leadership. Purpose-Driven Youth Ministry will help you develop a ministry that equips students rather than a ministry that coordinates events. Doug Fields says, "My goal for this book is to coach you through a plan to build a healthy youth ministry that isn't dependent on one great youth leader and won't be destroyed when the youth worker leaves the church. It's not a book on how to grow your youth ministry with six easy steps; it's about identifying, establishing, and building health into your church's youth ministry.
Tremendous Youth Ministry resource
| Customer Rating: | In the introduction to Purpose Driven Youth Ministry Rick Warren says that the book is, "a seminary level education in youth ministry". Having finished the book, it is hard to disagree with him. Doug Fields pours his years of youth ministry experience into this easy-to-read book that achieves a helpful balance of theory and practice. The book focused in on nine foundations for healthy youth ministry growth, talking through each in some detail. It is obvious that Fields has taken a few licks through his time in youth ministry, and it is also obvious that he has had some great successes. The wisdom gleaned from both sorts of experiences pervade this book. He covers everything from developing a ministry purpose statement, to disciplining in a healthy way, to developing volunteer leaders, to maintaining a healthy personal spiritual life. As I said before, I appreciated the combination of theory and practice found in this book. I also appreciated the fact that Fields clearly isn't insinuating that he has found the perfect youth ministry model, but rather he is sharing what God has shown him and encouraging other leaders to seek God's direction for their ministries.
I work with the college and young adult ministry at my church, and I still found Fields' ideas and principles to be very helpful. I highly recommend this book! |
Excellent Youth Ministry Source
| Customer Rating: | | This is an essential book/tool in working effectively in the will of God in ministering to young people. |
Requirment for All Youth Ministers
| Customer Rating: | | Anyone going into the Youth ministry needs to read and own this book. If you are just going to work with youth you still need to read and own this book. It's very helpful giving you a guideline. I will warn you though that each youth ministry is different so Field's method may not work totally for you but you do need a purpose. Field's really should emphasis the fact that not all ministries are the same in fact no ministry is the same but he doesn't. |
Every Youth Pastor Needs It!
| Customer Rating: | | Awesome book for any youth worker. Packed with tools, insight, and wonderful advice for youth ministry! |
Great Book!
| Customer Rating:  | | Great book...a must read. I also found The Minister's Crucible by Fred C. Rochester a great book for those in ministry. |
