The good news is, Dodgeball Theology explains how serious ministry can be fun when grounded in an appropriately developed theology of play. Author Blair Spindle quotes numerous and respected theologians and presents various theories that support his anecdotes and conversational style. Blair skillfully balances the sacred with the silly in order to prove that serious youth ministry should be fun.
