Book description
This book explores the role of the youth minister by looking at a
range of metaphors, such as 'flawed hero', 'visionary architect',
'party planner' and 'guardian of souls'. Each chapter takes one of
these metaphors as a central theme, offers biblical and/or theological
reflection on this aspect of youth ministry, explains the relevant
theory and the necessary skills, uses real-life stories from
practitioners to bring the metaphor to life, summarizes the key
principles and values, gives questions for reflection and makes
suggestions for further reading.
Sally Nash is Director of the Midlands Centre for Youth
Ministry, and has been involved in the Christian youth work field for
over 25 years, mainly in the support and training of youth workers.
