The Godbearing Life: The Art of Soul Tending for Youth Ministry

"If you've grown tired of youth ministry books that offer little more than thinly veiled "to-do" lists for the already over-worked youth worker, this is the book you've been waiting for! It draws the focus away from our rootless preoccupation with techniques and paradigms, uncovering our attempts to use our ministry to hide from intimacy with God and pointing us first and foremost to the passionate embrace of Jesus Christ. From the first page of the preface the book breathes with a passion for God, a love for teenagers, and a playful style that serves as the perfect antidote for pastors who have begun to take themselves and their ministries a little too seriously." -Mark DeVries
