Youth Pastors - Get It!

As a youth pastor for 11 years, I have been searching for abook to give to my volunteer youth leaders that would disciple andtrain them for strategic youth ministry, and this is it! Barry St. Clair does a fantastic job of breaking down youth ministry in such a way that a volunteer can fully understand his role as a youth leader while keeping his personal focus of Christ as Lord. As a youth pastor, I'm constantly dealing with that critical issue of time - time for myself and helping youth leaders balance the amount of time they give to serving in our student ministry while still taking care of important needs such as family and personal time. This book helps volunteers address this critical issue of time with practical application included. One other great piece to this book is that it teaches leaders how to lead. Barry St. Clair uses the biblical four-step approach that Jesus used in leading His disciples: 1) Leader does the work and the potential leader is with him, 2) Leader does the work and the potential leader assists, 3) The potential leader does the work and the leader assists, 4) The potential leader does the work and the leader observes. I highly encourage any youth pastor to purchase this book, go through it, and then use it to help train adult leaders to carry out the work of the ministry.
