Taking a cue from my friend Andy Root, I’ve decided to give away some copies of my most recent books entitled, Story, Signs and Sacred Rhythms: A Narrative Approach to Youth Ministry and Clear: 8 Lessons on the Theological Foundations of Faith.
Anyone interested in potentially using these books as a tool in within their ministry setting is eligible to receive one. My only request is that you commit to reviewing them as a resource as I have a limited amount to give away.
Here is a little information on each book…
Story, Signs and Sacred Rhythms is for youth workers (volunteer, paid or professional) and introduces a unique approach for a theology/philosophy of youth ministry. The approach I offer in this book is deeply rooted in the mission of God and is designed to help you discover, explore and articulate a framework for guiding students into spiritual formation for the mission of God. Each chapter has in-depth conversational prompts to help teams discuss, evaluate, plan, etc.
The contents of the book are born out of my experiences as a youth pastor as well as my current role as speaker, trainer and consultant to youth workers and churches throughout North America.
Clear was written with high school students in mind. It is a book that is designed to help students develop a foundation for a lifetime of following Jesus. It covers the major areas of doctrine you might expect — God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Church, etc. While each of these major areas are given a chapter, the intention is that the reader/user would interact with the whole narrative of God, giving an informed context to a systematic approach.
Each of the daily interactions are interactive giving the reader opportunities to journal, draw, dig into the Scriptures, write prayers and practically live out their faith. Several churches I know are using this book as a confirmation supplement/small group curriculum.
If you would like a free copy of either or both of these books, go to the contact form HERE and I will ship one out to you. As I mentioned above, I have a limited amount of copies to give away so this will be done on a first come first serve basis. If you have questions about the books or ways to use the books with your ministry team or students don’t hesitate to contact me.
