Inside the Mind: Blog Endorsement

So the great John Frye, author, pastor and gifted teacher has written the first ever blog post (on a blog other than this one) about my new book Inside the Mind of Youth Pastors. The book comes out in January, but here's a part that stood out to me.

The genius of Mark’s book is his ability to go beneath the surface and locate and express the (often deadly) assumptions at work in senior pastors, parents of teens, potential youth pastors and whole congregations–assumptions that swirl around this thing called youth ministry.

Mark presents a vision for healthy youth ministry that seeks the spiritual formation not just of teens, but families; not just of departments in the church, but whole congregations. The rinky-dink view of youth ministry as “Christian” fun-and-games to keep teens from sinning is forever gone.

Thanks John!
