What is youth ministry actually for? And does it have a future?
Andrew Root, a leading scholar in youth ministry and practical
theology, went on a one-year journey to answer these questions. In
this book, Root weaves together an innovative first-person
fictional narrative to diagnose the challenges facing the church
today and to offer a new vision for youth ministry in the 21st
century. Informed by interviews that Root conducted with parents,
this book explores how parents' perspectives of what constitutes a
good life are affecting youth ministry. In today's culture, youth
ministry can't compete with sports, test prep, and the myriad other
activities in which young people participate. Through a unique
parable-style story, Root offers a new way to think about the
purpose of youth ministry: not happiness, but joy. Joy is a sense
of experiencing the good. For youth ministry to be about joy, it
must move beyond the youth group model and rework the assumptions
of how identity and happiness are imagined by parents in American
society.
