Product Overview
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.
