{"product_id":"9781426725500","title":"Youth Pastor: The Theology and Practice of Youth Ministry","description":"\u003cp\u003eA youth pastor—whether paid or unpaid, full-time or part-time, right out of college or right out of retirement—has a big job to do. Actually, anyone who accepts God's call to help young people grow as disciples of Christ has several big jobs to do. The youth minister must be a teacher who can communicate the essentials of the faith; a friend who can listen to and be present with young people; a prophet who challenges teens to live lives of justice and righteousness; and an administrator who can manage the day-to-day logistics of youth ministry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYouth Pastor: The Theology and Practice of Youth Ministry provides a biblical and theological grounding for the many jobs a youth minister does, explains what each of these jobs entails, and helps youth pastors identify where their gifts lie and where they still need to grow. Whether you are a first-time youth minister or a seasoned youth ministry veteran, Youth Pastor gives you valuable tools for evaluating your ministry and vocation. It also serves as an excellent text for undergraduate courses in youth ministry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents:\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e     \u003cli\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eChapter 1 Becoming All Things in Ministry\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eChapter 2 Discipling Teacher \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eChapter 3 Evangelistic Missionary \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eChapter 4 Pastoral Shepherd  \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eChapter 5 Organized Administrator \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eChapter 6 Bold Prophet \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eChapter 7 Compassionate Priest  \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eChapter 8 Spiritual Friend \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eChapter 9 Equipping Recruiter \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eChapter 10 Visionary Leader \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eChapter 11 Faithful Teammate \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eChapter 12 Discover Your Ministry Style\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eEpilogue: Character and Competence in Ministry \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eAppendix: Youth Ministry Role Inventory\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Abingdon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47122203410672,"sku":"9781426725500","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781426725500_p0.jpg?v=1763743937","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781426725500","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
