Publisher's Summary:
As a youth leader, do you really know what you are getting yourself into? Do you understand that the ministry you have signed up for is often a thankless job? Are you aware that as you literally pour out your heart and life for teenagers in your youth ministry, some of the very same kids you are working so hard to love are going to choose to walk away from God? Has anyone ever sat down and told you that youth ministry is one of the most emotional undertakings anyone could ever sign up for? Well, it's true. But have no fear, because in actuality, the good about youth ministry far outweighs the bad.
Based upon the real-life experiences of over a decade of youth ministry, Green is a book that everyone in youth ministry should read. Green deals with the many emotional aspects of working with teenagersthings that you probably wouldn't find out unless you had spent time in the youth ministry trenches yourself.
In Green, author Rodney W. Wardwell II connects with youth pastors, bi-vocational lay leaders, and anyone who might take on the incredible responsibility of pouring into teens by sharing dynamic personal stories and relevant principles that will prepare youth leaders for the emotions of youth ministry and help to eclipse the prospect of burnout. After reading Green, you will understand that, even through all of the challenges of ministry, God has given you a purpose and a calling to reach your students.
Members Reviews:
Invaluable for new and seasoned youth leaders alike
Green was recommended to me by a fellow youth Pastor who said it was one of the best books he's read. I wasn't disappointed and agree that it's a great book. From the beginning to the end the author shares nuggets of wisdom, true stories from his time in ministry and truths from God's word about the journey anyone involved in youth ministry experiences. There isn't any candy-coating, the author gives real life examples of options for dealing with difficult situations in ministry. Additionally the book includes practical information helpful for anyone involved in youth ministry including boundaries, speaking to teens and many other topics.
Having worked in youth ministry for about 10 years I wasn't sure whether I would glean much from this book. I definitely did and have already re-read portions of it. This will be one of the books I keep close to me to keep me fresh and remembering the important things we tend to lose sight of in the busy-ness of ministry. The author says it best "God cares so much more about you and your relationship with him than he does your personal ministry." Green is not just a book about pragmatics, it's a book about the heart of God from the perspective of one who has walked the path.
the truth will set you free
I have read many christian books by many authors; the best always honor Christ and who we are in Him. The Book Green by Rodney Wardwell exemplifies that truth. It is a true journey of a life found in Christ and a direction that lead Rodney to a life of commitment which in turn will lead others to the feet of Jesus. Youth pastors are sorely needed to help teenagers find that life in Christ.It is the way not only to salvation, but to a fulfilled life of service that will bring peace and joy to those willing to take that step of faith. The leaders are the first to need this valuable insight and understanding of this truth.
