New research shows that they want a clearer understanding of what Jesus really said and did, and how faith in matters in their lives. In fact, that desire is so deep, it’s #1 on their “wish list” for what they’d like to talk about at church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut are we doing that? Even though we assume that everything we do in youth ministry is about Jesus, the evidence is clear:That’s not what our students say they’re experiencing. So what would a youth ministry look like if it shifted toward a passionate, persistent, and permeating focus on drawing students into a closer orbit around Jesus?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside the pages of Jesus-Centered Youth Ministry, you’ll discover the foundation for a ministry that is Jesus-centered, along with the bricks for building it. You’ll discover that not only is it possible to create this kind of ministry, it’s also essential that you pursue this path.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEight years after his book was first published, introducing the language and structure of a new way of doing youth ministry, author and longtime Group Magazine editor Rick Lawrence has completely rewritten and revised Jesus-Centered Youth Ministry. It’s packed with new insight, new research, and dozens of field-tested ideas for planting and nurturing a ministry environment that is Jesus-magnetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHelp satisfy teenagers’ hunger for Jesus in richly nourishing and sustaining ways by shifting the orbit of your ministry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Group Publishing, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163412742384,"sku":"9781470716752","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781470716752_p0.jpg?v=1763596392","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781470716752","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
