I met Andy a few years ago at a National Youth Worker Convention. I had just read his book called, Revisiting Relational Youth Ministry so naturally I had tons of questions that ultimately led to great conversations. Since then Andy has become a friend and a voice in which I gladly tune my ears to.
Since meeting Andy I’ve found as many ways as possible to find ways to partner with him. We (Barefoot/Youthfront) brought him down from MSP to KC for some youth worker training last fall and we’ll be doing it again this year. We are also thrilled to have him as one of our contributors on Slant33.com. I hope we find more ways to work with Andy because I truly believe that what he offers (a thoughtful, robust theological framework) is something all of our faith communities should absorb and practice.
Andy is giving away one of his recent book releases called, Unfiltered Relationships.
Here are the details from Andy:
If you’ll email me (aroot@luthersem.edu) I’ll send you a free copy of the book so you can look it over and decide if it would be of help to you and your volunteers. If you’re interested in using it you can then go to:
http://www.zondervan.com/cultures/en-us/ministrywelcome.htm
and type in the code 980752 in the “source code” box.
Starting August 1 this will give you a 40% discount on as many books as you’d like.
And I’ll also offer this, if you do use the book with your team, I’m willing to do a select number of skype or ichat conversations with you and your team after getting through the book.

I’ve read this book. It is a terrific book that will surely help you with one of the most important aspects of youth ministry — relationships. If I were you, I would take advantage of this remarkable give-a-way… today!
