Richard Dunn shows how to mentor today's teens by setting the pace--physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially and spiritually--with sensitivity to the unique issues of adolescent development.
This book is an absolute must have for anyone who even knows an adolescent anywhere from Middle school through college. I had to read it for a youth ministry class & it still was the best book I have read in my entire college career. Dunn has tremendous insight & gives wonderful practical advice on how to approach problems within working with adolescents. Buy one for yourself & one for anyone else you know that works with students!

This book contains great information and advice on how to authentically interact with a teenager while in the role of mentor. There are also three chapters at the end of the book that deal with teen social, spiritual, emotional, etc. development. A wonderful book for people who want to fulfill the axiom, "it takes a village to raise a child".

I don't think I could recommend this book enough for my fellow youth workers. The book covers a great deal in it's 251 pages. The book is a good mixture of challenging ideas and refreshing stories from one of the larger names in youth ministry. Check out this book if you are looking for a quality resource about leading students into a meaningful relationship with God.
