Rebooted : Reclaiming Youth Ministry For The Long Haul A Biblical Framework

Most youth ministry is simply too small. Or too time- or fad-bound. Or based on a model of some sort but without solid biblical foundations. The author is passionate about growing youth ministry that can outlive the youth worker. He deplores particularly the call for ‘something’ for youth. Something just won’t do.Tim Gough seeks to redress the balance. He takes us on an expositional journey through the Bible as he sees it relating to youth work, pulling out purposeful themes through key stories and passages. He offers guidelines which can be used by any leader as he casts this strong, healthy biblical vision to inspire us.Here is youth leadership training for the long haul.Introduction – Methods and goals1 Passing it on – Youth work through the Pentateuch (Gen-Deut)2 Walking beside them – Youth work through the history books3 Staying relevant – Youth work through wisdom literature4 Cultivating community – Youth work through the Psalms5 Getting involved – Youth work through the Prophets6 Growing up – Youth work through the Gospels7 Going out – Youth work through the Acts8 Displaying devotion – Youth work through the EpistlesConclusion – Bringing it all together as a facilitator model of youth work
