Experiential Youth Ministry Handbook: How Intentional Activity Can Make the Spiritual Stuff Stick

This can be a epiphany for some youth leaders pulling out their hairs trying to excite their group spiritually. Many groups follow the same patterns and activities they've been doing the last 30+ years... "let's rap with the young people". This book leads leaders into an area that can be exciting with a willing group of students and potentially life-changing for kids who are "sitting on the fence". I reccomend this for Sr. High age kids.

This was a great book for planning our student leadership retreat. We wanted our students to get hands on training at being leaders, dealing with problems, and working together and this book was full of great ideas. My only slight criticism would be that there is a lacking of spiritual teaching/connections to make with the hands-on stuff. Many of the exercises teach the same ideas: work together, co-operate, problem solve... But overall, full of great ideas.
