Surviving and Thriving - Softcover

Youth work has sometimes been viewed as the preserve of the young, a misconception that reflects a general shortage of longevity in this vital Christian ministry. This revealing study offers guidance to full-time and volunteer youth workers on sustaining their personal calling. Taking the form of a conversation between two youth workers at the opposite ends of their careers, it calls for youth work that is founded on the love of God lived through lives modelled on Jesus, and which is sacrificial, authentic, committed and long term.
