These books are for youth leaders asking, ‘What’s the next step?’. Combining a biblical framework with cultural insight and an honest critique of the church, they provide new thinking and understandings of youth ministry that may challenge current practice, counter inculturation, and offer ways of making disciples of Christ with a missional heart, that have the depth and strength to make a real difference to their neighbours and wider communities.
All these books can be borrowed from the John Kinder Theological Library via their online catalogue: firstly, become a member, and then request the title(s) you want. If the requested books are available, they will normally be sent to you the following day.
Alternatively, these books are available for purchase through Amazon and Book Depository (see the links provided below).
