Your first two years in youth ministry

Employing his renowned wisdom and humour---as if you and Doug were chatting over a long, relaxing meal---the author disarmingly relates stories and principles from his own successes and failures over 20-plus years in youth ministry. In the end, he offers treasure troves of practical advice, all in the hope that new youth workers can travel a smoother path and achieve real longevity in a church culture that all too often chew them up and spits them out.

Your first two years in youth ministry is a must-have tool for new youth workers, volunteers, seminary professors and students, senior pastors, elders, church boards and even veteran youth workers!
