Sustainable Youth Ministry

Mark DeVries made a name for himself through his work Family-Based Youth Ministry.  Although I do not agree with all of Devries conclusions and methods I do appreciated his new work, Sustainable Youth Ministry.   This is a must read for those in youth ministry.  It is a refresher to veterans and workbook for those just beginning in youth ministry.

His chapter on "Building Right" is worth the price of the book alone.  This chapter truly will help you architect the "structures of sustainability" that you need to have an effective and well-engineered ministry.

There are many other practical applications in the book and perhaps nothing new but nice to have all these ideas in one place that can be accessed.  I appreciate this veteran imparting years of wisdom in the trenches.
