Join the conversation as experts propose, defend, and explore Four Views of Youth Ministry and the Church. In a dialog that often gets downright feisty, four youth ministry academicians delineate their distinct philosophical and ecclesiological views regarding how youth ministry relates to the church at large--and leave a taste of what’s profound and what’s not in these four typologies: Inclusive congregational (Malan Nel). What happens when a church thoroughly integrates its adolescents, making them full partners in every aspect of congregational life? Preparatory (Wesley Black). Why and how should a church consider its teenagers as disciples-in-training and its youth ministry a school of preparation for future participation in church life? Missional (Chap Clark). What does a church look like, whose youth ministry does not necessarily nurture "church kids" but is essentially evangelistic? Whose youths and youth workers are considered missionaries? Strategic (Mark Senter). How feasible is it for a youth ministry to become a new church on its own--the youth pastor becoming the pastor, and the new church planted with the blessing of the mother church? In Four View of Your Ministry and the Church, solid academic writing and an inviting tone and design create a compelling text for both in-the-field, practicing youth workers and undergraduates and graduate students.

An Academic Review
By Shean Phillips
INTRODUCTION
A little hectic to read at first, Four Views of Youth Ministry is a thorough look at the "Inclusive Congregational", "Preparatory", "Missional" and "Strategic" approaches to reaching and discipling students. With rebuttals from each viewpoint offered at the end of the sections. This work does what others have not attempted in that it has respected men in youth ministry openly critiquing each other's philosophies. If there were an ESPN for academic youth ministry, this would be a prize fight observed by many wondering spectators eager to see which is the last philosophy standing.

WHAT IS THE MESSAGE OF THE TEXT?

It is clear from the amount of attention shown by each of these men that the message of this text is two-fold; first, the current state of youth ministry is failing this present generation in evangelism and discipleship. Second, the current state of ecclesiology is failing youth ministry by not incorporating younger Christians into the work of the body. The goal of the text is to address these concerns in an intellectual dialogue using scriptural principles and cultural relevance.

HOW WAS I CHALLENGED?
There is no question that each of these principles is scripturally based. There is also no doubt that each of these men is spirit-led and has a heart for reaching and equipping students. There was plenty to be challenged with from each of the four philosophies. First, from the "Inclusive congregational" approach, Malan Nel challenges the church to see youth as the church of today gifted for today's service, rather than as a separate body of believers that are disconnected. In an answer to our dilemma about youth ministries not being unified with churches, Nel says "The problem is not our youth ministry, the problem is our church."(2) Nel's challenge for the church to see teens as viable resources for ministry using their gift of teenagers rather than considering that gift a burden is refreshing. Wesley Black presented the "Preparatory" approach to youth ministry. The key challenge I took from this section was to view youth ministry more as an apprenticeship program. The focus here was one preparing teens for future service. There is a definite conflict here with Nel's philosophy and that is the subject of some discussion in the rebuttals, but if taken for face value, one could see that the middle ground on each of these is beneficial to the development of teens and to the growth of the local church. The "Missional" approach, in my opinion is likely the most pure in regards to biblical ministry. The focus that Chap Clark puts on students as a people group is enlightening. The recognition that youth workers are really just reaching another culture is refreshing. The expectation that we should be able to reach them because "they are ours" is out the door. The understanding is that they are their own and they will make spiritual decisions for themselves. Mark Senter contributed the final approach to youth ministry called the "Strategic" approach. The challenging part of this section came on page 118. Senter flies in the face of Mark Yaconelli (Contemplative Youth Ministry) and the like who have called for a more simple approach to student mentoring. Senter says returning to the simplicity of the old days would be much like returning to the one-room schoolhouse in public education." The "Strategic" approach recognizes the multifaceted nature of today's youth ministries and the cultural complexity of today's youth and seeks to unify the body of Christ (young and old) through youth ministry church planting. I was challenged to learn of the number of churches that began as thriving youth ministries.

WHAT DID I LIKE ABOUT THE BOOK?

The idea of allowing four men who are passionate about the way God has led them to do ministry to "duke it out" in a book is a great idea. So in general, I liked the very idea of the book. More specifically, the contributors were honest enough to not pull punches. There are times when the "arguments" seem to get a little heated. It was also extremely insightful that they each shined light on the positive points in each other's philosophies.

WHAT NEW THINGS HAVE I LEARNED FROM THIS WORK THAT I WILL APPLY IN MY FUTURE YOUTH MINISTRY STRATEGY?

First, the "Missional" approach opened my eyes to youth as a people group rather than just an age group. I will apply more of a "Missional" strategy to my youth work the "Inclusive Congregational" model excited me about what teens can be doing in churches today, and the lasting relationships that can be built with people in older generations. I am particularly excited about what that might do for our church's retention rate of graduating seniors. The stark contrast found in many of these four models taught me that there is definitely more than one "right" way to do youth ministry...none of these authors are failures. This contrast also taught me that each of them have strengths and weaknesses and it would behoove any youth leader to squeeze out the flaws and implement the strengths without concern of allegiance to any title on the philosophy or proponent thereof.

WHICH VIEW OF YOUTH MINISTRY IS CLOSEST TO MY STYLES AND HOW WOULD I COMBINE STYLES?

Part of the struggle I have had over my eleven year youth ministry career is that I have tried to do three of these four exclusively and it has crashed and burned. I have taken Jesus to the youth culture (Missional) to the extent that the message was watered down and lost. Then I got into ministry teams and was including students in leadership positions (inclusive congregational) before they were ready for such a position. I then pulled them all out and started focusing on discipleship (preparatory) before they would be allowed to serve. The only thing I hadn't tried is starting a youth church and I don't think I will be trying that. Perhaps with more balance I would have been more successful in one or more of these ventures.
To combine the qualities, I would reach youth as a people group rather than an age group; prepare them as they serve in youth / children's ministry for service in the whole body. The next major factor would be to integrate them outside of leadership into as many facets of the corporate body as possible.

WHAT ARE THREE NEW THINGS I CAN DO TODAY IN THE AREA OF PERSONAL STUDENT DEVELOPMENT?

Reach parents, Develop a scope and sequence for discipling students, and go to them rather than expecting them to come to me.

CONCLUSION

I have used this book in the youth classes I teach, the insights are very helpful. Even the questions that are posed are as helpful as the answers given. "Four Views" goes along way in the educational process of youth ministry undergrads by allowing the reader to be a part of the decision making between the different models.

Great book, but can get tangled up in "academic-ese"
By Evan Doyle
Overall, this is a great book looking at several models of youth ministry, and a must read for any current or future youth minister. Be prepared to put your mind into overdrive though, as the book many times gets its powerful message lost in a sea of academic mumbo-jumbo and theological jargon. Definitely a worthy read, however.

Great
By hanelson310
This book was great. It gives you several differnt views on how to run a youth ministry. It focuses on four ways as well as how each of them focus on missional or fellowship. This book is very helpful for those looking to going into youth ministry or those already there.

Something scary is happening to boys today. From kindergarten to college, American boys are, on average, less resilient and less ambitious than they were a mere twenty years ago. The gender gap in college attendance and graduation rates has widened dramatically. While Emily is working hard at school and getting A’s, her brother Justin is goofing off. He’s more concerned about getting to the next level in his videogame than about finishing his homework. Now, Dr. Leonard Sax delves into the scientific literature and draws on more than twenty years of clinical experience to explain why boys and young men are failing in school and disengaged at home. He shows how social, cultural, and biological factors have created an environment that is literally toxic to boys. He also presents practical solutions, sharing strategies which educators have found effective in re-engaging these boys at school, as well as handy tips for parents about everything from homework, to videogames, to medication.

A Must Read for Parents and Teachers
By Leah Garcia
A must read for all parents, teachers and anyone else who work with kids.
This book cost us more than the cover price. After reading it, I made dramatic changes in my house, which were not cheap- but definitely worth it for my boys health. Stainless Steal Cups, Ruby Blue Bunny Body Wash, Stainless steel sandwich holder, etc. We also informed all grandfathers, uncles, and neighbors that our sons will be looking to them on how to be a man, so they better step up! :-)

The reasons far too many young boys become unmotivated and how we can turn the problem around.
By Eric Walther
This book expresses well the important social issue we face in the U.S. of far too many young boys becoming unmotivated at a young age (5-10) years old and developing into underachieving young men. The information is well-researched and compelling. This book needs to be read by enough caring adults in our nation to compel several actions that will ameliorate the problem.

An unforgettable spiritual journey through the Himalayas by renowned writer Peter Matthiessen (1927-2014), the National Book Award-winning author of the new novel In Paradise

In 1973, Peter Matthiessen and field biologist George Schaller traveled high into the remote mountains of Nepal to study the Himalayan blue sheep and possibly glimpse the rare and beautiful snow leopard. Matthiessen, a student of Zen Buddhism, was also on a spiritual quest to find the Lama of Shey at the ancient shrine on Crystal Mountain. As the climb proceeds, Matthiessen charts his inner path as well as his outer one, with a deepening Buddhist understanding of reality, suffering, impermanence, and beauty. This Penguin Classics edition features an introduction by acclaimed travel writer and novelist Pico Iyer.

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Amazon.com Review
In the autumn of 1973, the writer Peter Matthiessen set out in the company of zoologist George Schaller on a hike that would take them 250 miles into the heart of the Himalayan region of Dolpo, "the last enclave of pure Tibetan culture on earth." Their voyage was in quest of one of the world's most elusive big cats, the snow leopard of high Asia, a creature so rarely spotted as to be nearly mythical; Schaller was one of only two Westerners known to have seen a snow leopard in the wild since 1950.

Published in 1978, The Snow Leopard is rightly regarded as a classic of modern nature writing. Guiding his readers through steep-walled canyons and over tall mountains, Matthiessen offers a narrative that is shot through with metaphor and mysticism, and his arduous search for the snow leopard becomes a vehicle for reflections on all manner of matters of life and death. In the process, The Snow Leopard evolves from an already exquisite book of natural history and travel into a grand, Buddhist-tinged parable of our search for meaning. By the end of their expedition, having seen wolves, foxes, rare mountain sheep, and other denizens of the Himalayas, and having seen many signs of the snow leopard but not the cat itself, Schaller muses, "We've seen so much, maybe it's better if there are some things that we don't see."

That sentiment, as well as the sense of wonder at the world's beauty that pervades Matthiessen's book, ought to inform any journey into the wild. --Gregory McNamee

A trip worth taking on many levels
By fov books
Peter Matthiessen considered himself primarily a fiction writer, though his non-fiction output was nearly twice as heavy. He is the only writer to have won the National Book Award in both categories. Matthiessen, who died in April of this year, was a well-known literary figure, traveler, naturalist, environmentalist, and Buddhist. A couple of his novels, Far Tortuga & Shadow Country, rank in the highest tier of my personal favorites.

The Snow Leopard is a famous book that recounts the author’s 1973 journey to the remote mountains of Nepal with field biologist George Schaller, who went to study the Himalayan blue sheep. Matthiessen went along for several reasons, for the high altitude flora and fauna, the most elusive of which is the snow leopard, and for spiritual reasons having to do with a pilgrimage to the ancient shrine on Crystal Mountain, as well as a more personal quest to understand reality and suffering, prompted by the recent loss of his wife to cancer.

I read this book slowly, partly due to my recent schedule but mainly to savor the words, as seemed best upon my encounter with them. The related journey is a combination of sheer arduous traveling, a Buddhist history of the region, a seeker’s inner path, a traveler’s account of the lives of the people living there, and as usual with this writer, lyrical descriptions of the natural world in its many forms.

Like the mountain journey itself, the passages move up and down with the landscape, changing with the weather and the reader’s mind, finding footholds in different areas of interest, holding true in sparkling moments of transcendence that balance more mundane points in other spots. There are wonderful observations of locals, both human and animal, and the inner struggles of a spiritual man who rises and falls in his attempts at betterment. Written as daily journal entries, the accumulation of the details of hardship and progress and doubt and beauty and loss began to gather within this reader and alter his perceptions in ways both subtle and profound.

In most ways this journey is no longer possible, in all likelihood not politically feasible, while the region itself is no longer as remote as it was forty years ago, not to mention the fact that many readers would not relish or even be capable of the physical demands. Here then is an opportunity to experience something of this incredible undertaking and feel this mystical, ethereal high country – in a staggering and moving accomplishment.

Here are two passages to illustrate the reflective and physical aspects of the journey.

When I watch blue sheep, I must watch blue sheep, not be thinking about sex, danger, or the present, for this present – even while I think of it – is gone.

In the cold wind, the track is icy even at midday, yet one cannot wander to the side without plunging through the crust. The regular slow step that works best on steep mountainsides is difficult; I slip and clamber. Far above, a train of yaks makes dark curves on the shining ice; soon a second herd overtakes me, the twine-soled herders strolling up the icy incline with hands clasped behind their backs, grunting and whistling at the heaving animals.

Look Inward While Looking Outward - A Treatise for Tranquility
By BlasterMaster
Peter Matthiessen died recently but well before his death, "The Snow Leopard" clearly marked a high
point in his long literary career. I stumbled across this epic tale of both inner and outer exploration,
hungrily searching for an explorer that related more than just his physical travails. He offers vivid descriptions
of the mountain world about him, while searching for the elusive snow leopard, and at the same time
provides the reader insights into religion, philosophy and his own personal struggles attempting to balance
the emotional needs of his family and friends while reaching for the joy and peace that only being alone in the
mountains can offer.

So, set aside your iPhones and tablets, leave the hubbub of the city noise and traffic behind, forget for
a few hours the incessant and annoying buzz of social media and read a few chapters of the monumental work.
You will become refreshed and renewed, centered again, perhaps even a new Zen advocate. You owe it to yourself
and, more importantly, you owe it to the memory of Peter Matthiessen.

Much like Conrad's "Heart of Darkness"
By Paul Miller
The story is extremely well written and is far from a standard adventure drama. It is much more akin to "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". It is an intrigue tale of self-discovery using the language and faith practices of the Himalayan cultures the writer travels through to explain his personal progress. Much like Conrad's "Heart of Darkness", the writer's personal journey mirrors the actual journey taken. It was a slow read with deep layering of flora, fauna, geography, history and religion... sometimes just too much. This book is worth the investment, but it is not an entertaining read.

Thought provoking and practical
By M. Goldman
This book covers the intersection between community activism and design (focused on graphic design), told through clear, easy-to-read analysis of fascinating and inspiring case studies. It is also beautifully designed, no surprise.

The concise chapter on how to find funding for public interest design is particularly insightful, offering up some practical ideas for how designers can rethink their place in the economy, contribute to projects effecting social change, and still be business savvy.

Approachable Academia
By R Bradbury
'Designing for Social Change' is a must read for all design students, communities and organizations working for a charitable cause. It is THE designers guidebook to successful social change projects. Andrew Shea uses a constructive and practical point of view when approaching this still new and growing area of the design community. He dissects and describes numerous case studies of previous social change projects to then distill their lessons and create the strategies to start your own successful social design project. Two thumbs up.

A lot of statistical information, and a lot of ...
By Eugene Yew Chin Boey
A lot of statistical information, and a lot of game data you can use. Not a lot of background and story ideas though (only 1-3 short descriptive paragraph hooks for adventures). Its a decent supplement.

Considered a masterpiece since its first appearance on stage in 1904, Peter Pan is J. M. Barrie’s most famous work and arguably the greatest of all children’s stories. While it is a wonderful fantasy for the young, Peter Pan, particularly in the novel form Barrie published in 1911, says something important to all of us. Here “the boy who wouldn’t grow up” and his adventures with Wendy and the lost boys in the Neverland evoke a deep emotional response as they give form to our feelings about parents, boys and girls, the unknown, freedom, and responsibility. Humorous, satiric, filled with suspenseful cliff-hangers and bittersweet truths, Peter Pan works an indisputable magic on readers of all ages, making it a true classic of imaginative literature.

Amazon.com Review
"All children, except one, grow up." Thus begins a great classic of children's literature that we all remember as magical. What we tend to forget, because the tale of Peter Pan and Neverland has been so relentlessly boiled down, hashed up, and coated in saccharine, is that J.M. Barrie's original version is also witty, sophisticated, and delightfully odd. The Darling children, Wendy, John, and Michael, live a very proper middle-class life in Edwardian London, but they also happen to have a Newfoundland for a nurse. The text is full of such throwaway gems as "Mrs. Darling first heard of Peter Pan when she was tidying up her children's minds," and is peppered with deliberately obscure vocabulary including "embonpoint," "quietus," and "pluperfect." Lest we forget, it was written in 1904, a relatively innocent age in which a plot about abducted children must have seemed more safely fanciful. Also, perhaps, it was an age that expected more of its children's books, for Peter Pan has a suppleness, lightness, and intelligence that are "literary" in the best sense. In a typical exchange with the dastardly Captain Hook, Peter Pan describes himself as "youth... joy... a little bird that has broken out of the egg," and the author interjects: "This, of course, was nonsense; but it was proof to the unhappy Hook that Peter did not know in the least who or what he was, which is the very pinnacle of good form." A book for adult readers-aloud to revel in--and it just might teach young listeners to fly. (Ages 5 and older) --Richard Farr

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7-J. M. Barrie's classic tale comes to life in this radio play adaptation. Young listeners will once again be thrilled with the antics of Peter, Wendy, Michael, the Lost Boy, Captain Hook, and Tinkerbell. The voices of the children and adult actors are well suited to the story. There are a few places where the dialogue is a little fuzzy, but overall the audio quality is very clear. Following the original tale closely, this radio play is a refreshing change from traditional books on tape and will provide pleasurable listening for young readers. Teachers may want to use it as anexample for expressive reading and acting techniques. A unique selection to add to audio collections.

From Kirkus Reviews
An unusually large, attractive, unabridged edition with dozens of full-page illustrations and smaller vignettes. In style, Gustafson's lusty oil paintings of the pirates are akin to N. C. Wyeth's, though they have more the flavor of compelling dramatic play than real menace. His slim, round-faced, rosy children and cozy interiors are closer to Wyeth's gifted student, Jessie Wilcox Smith, while the ethereal yet mischievous fairy folk recall Rackham. This is not to suggest that the result is merely derivative, in the manner of Michael Hague; Gustafson is a talented craftsman who skillfully melds his references to past greats to create an appropriately traditional style that has enough of a contemporary aura (especially in the characterizations) for broad popular appeal. An endpaper map of ``The Neverland'' and meticulous renditions of intriguing details add to the drama and fun. A perfect gift for a family that reads aloud.

A Neat Package
By theboombody
Hmm...., Peter and Wendy is obviously a five star book all the way, but what about Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens? Well, it's not really a complete book, first off. It's just a large section taken out of an earlier Barrie book titled The Little White Bird. So its very fragmented. Second, since it's more of a springboard the for ideas that formed the Peter Pan play than anything else, it repeats quite a bit of what we have already seen multiple times in many of the famous Peter Pan adaptations.

Even so, I did get a lot of enjoyment out of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. Aside from the first chapter (which isn't much fun if you haven't been to the gardens), I was quite entertained. Barrie's theory that people are born as birds and then turn into humans afterward is pretty wild, and I loved Peter's interaction with the girl who was captured by the fairies. Peter thought he played games the same way all real boys did but just embarassed the heck out of himself, throwing the hula-hoops or whatever those things were in the water. Poor guy.

So all in all, you have a great introduction followed by a good book fragment and topped off with an all-time classic. Not a bad purchase at all.

Why Classics are Classics
By theboombody
As one reads Peter Pan, one doesn't have to do much thinking to figure out why its story has achieved such worldwide acclaim. I had ridiculously high expectations of Mr. Barrie's imagination before purchasing this title, and he has fulfilled them completely.

Many parts of the story are nothing but nonsense, which I enjoy above all else. Mr. Darling, the head of the Darling family, commands his children to take their medicine after he hides the medicine he's supposed to take. He brags about how noble he is for drinking a medicine that tastes so much worse that theirs. Unfortunately for him, during his bragging his medicine is found, and the whole family agrees to take their respective medicines on the count of three. Sure enough, when three is reached, everyone except Mr. Darling takes their medicine, and Mr. Darling once again tries to hide his.

This kind of scenario is what I'd call Mark Twain nonsense. You can imagine it being true, even though it's quite high up on the ridiculous scale. Then there's what I would classify as over-the-top nonsense - AKA bull - which there is plenty of in Barrie's original story of Peter Pan. Going back to Mr. Darling, if we take a look at how he's doing near the end of the book, we find him going to and from work in a dog kennel. Ah, yes...grown men in pet taxis. What could be more fun than the "he-didn't-even-try-to-make-this-belivable" silliness of such a scene? To be honest, I don't know if I'd even read books if they all left out fun stuff like this.

Other silly parts of the book involve Wendy growing up a day quicker than most girls; the narrator claiming he hates Mrs. Darling only to call her his favorite character a few sentences later; the lost boys asking Wendy to change the characters her story just two sentences into it; the narrator using the phrase "woke into life" because Peter likes the word "woke" more than "wakened;" and my favorite, Captain Hook using a stale cake as a missle and then falling over it in the dark.

I believe the novel version of Peter Pan was written after the author had already established Peter Pan as a successful play. That may explain a lot about the colorful narration, which takes many, many literary liberties. We see everything from blatant narrator interference with the characters in the story to the shameless attempt at informing the audience that the narrator only chooses to make the events in the story happen a certain way so certain characters in the book won't be disappointed. Perhaps without these wacky (and maybe even insane) traits in the narration, there'd be no reason to read the book, since it would be no different from the play. After reading the Peter Pan novel though, I'd have to say it almost seems criminal to watch an adaptation of Peter Pan without any wacky narration.

Contrary to most adaptations of Peter Pan, the individual lost boys (of where there are six I believe) are actually more developed as characters than John or Michael Darling. Heck, at the end of the book they actually end up moving out of the Neverland to live with the Darlings and grow up to busy themselves in interesting professions.

I may not like the actual land of Neverland as much as I like the land of Oz, but Barrie's narration is unbeatable in my opinion. He could probably make a Jeopardy contestant's Friday night schedule sound exciting.

I believe Barrie has written another Peter Pan book as well, a prequel of sorts entitled "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens." It should be interesting, particuarly if it addresses what is contained in the dark dreams that haunt Peter throughout this book. Freud would have a field day with such dreams and the whole mother issue.

The only thing I expected to see in this book that I didn't see was "happy thoughts." That must have been a creation of Disney.
