With a mix of brevity and candor Steven Case seeks to support the youth minister whose energy and enthusiasm for the work is flagging. In these pages there are some very helpful reminders about the calling to minister to young people and encourage them to stay the course.
Topics cover important subjects such as dealing with negative people; handling complaints from church members; and feeling like you’re getting too old, thus, knowing when to leave. This book particularly is geared toward those in church-based ministry with all of its unique people and politics. With practical advice for beginners and veterans, this book is certainly worth reading.
