Customer Reviews

Very helpful!

Sorry to disagree with the others, but I found this book to be very helpful. I agree that a skilled youth worker can come up with many talks on their own. However, there are times when I have a block, or I just don't hear from God and I need some ideas. I have used some of these talks and the kids love them. (I actually got feedback from them- weird huh?). Also, if I am developing a talk on a similar subject I might use one of the skits, a movie clip, or an illustration from a similar talk in the book. I really like the CD outlines that come with it because you can totally tweak it to fit your group and your talk. I've gotten a lot of use out this book and I hate to see it maligned. I've been in youth ministry for over 10 yrs now, and I've written a more then a few talks. I've also seen lots of books- some good, lots bad. The truth is, this book really can be quite helpful when you are in a pinch.
