Overview

The field of youth ministry is often driven by fads and trends. Leaders attempt to reach students by chasing the ever-changing tides of teenage culture, but their heartfelt and painstaking efforts are often met with a lack of authentic spiritual transformation. Student Ministry by the Book addresses these and other common missteps by providing a biblical philosophy and practical guide for youth ministry. Student pastors, youth leaders, and parents of teens will all benefit from this thoroughly biblical and practical approach, designed as a handbook for starting, strengthening, and sustaining a youth ministry in the local church.

Praise for Student Ministry by the Book

One of the things I have always loved about Ed and Scott is that they preach and teach by the Book. Now they have collaborated to give us a new fantastic resource in Student Ministry by the Book. You and your ministry will be encouraged and equipped with this much needed biblical philosophy and practical guide for youth ministry.

J. Roger Davis, president, YM360

Student Ministry by the Book is one of the most powerful, compelling, and needed books written for those who care deeply about students and student ministry. Ed Newton and Scott Pace have created a triple threat resource that is rich in theology, highly personal in its practicality, and conversational in its tone. Furthermore, this is a book that is just as beneficial to a parent as it is to a youth pastor. I can’t wait to give copies to the student ministry team at our church!

Brent Crowe, vice president, Student Leadership University

In Student Ministry by the Book, Scott Pace and Ed Newton have given clear, concise, and biblical guidelines for understanding students and building the foundations for excellent youth ministry. I know these men well, and this book is an authentic reflection of their heart for students and student leaders. If you are a youth pastor who is just “trying to figure it out,” you need this book. If you want to be more than an activities director and begin to build student disciples, this is the place to start.
