The Whole Youth Worker: Advice on Professional, Personal, and Physical Wellness from the Trenches

If you are thinking about youth ministry, already doing youth ministry, know a youth minister, or simply need something to read quickly so that you can say, "Why yes, I have finished an entire book!", The Whole Youth Worker is for you. This book provides the things I wish someone would have written
down for me early in my career in youth ministry. In The Whole Youth Worker, I share my tips,
strategies, and advice on:
Being a professional inside the office
Dealing with criticism
Balancing family and ministry
Challenging your congregation's definition of success
Creating a more parent-friendly ministry
Creating a clear vision for ministry
Ministering to others when you are struggling yourself
and much more!
