<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Mike Higgs, a youth worker with over two decades of experience, expresses the great need for youth workers to stop focusing on performance and focus instead on following God in his work so that ministry will become less noise and more substance.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Flash! Ping! Whiz! Pop! Boom! Bang! Crash! Such are the sights and sounds of modern youth ministry. We look for the bigger, the louder, the brighter. And we work long and hard to make our ministry the biggest, the loudest, the brightest. But look out and listen up: God is not caught up in sound and fury. And he doesn't want to see youth workers disengage--letting the momentum define their purpose. Mike Higgs, reflecting on more than two decades of work with youth, thinks the greatest need among youth workers today is a reminder of who we are. We need to set aside the distractions of an emphasis on performance and focus instead on connecting with God in his work in us, our students and other youth workers. When a renewed spirit shapes our work with youth, our ministry will become less a muddled chorus of strategies and targets, and more a symphony of purpose and practice.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"I know of no one of national stature better qualified to write on keys to the renewal of youth ministry in America than Mike Higgs. I've worked side by side with him in major youth events. I've seen his heart for Christ, for young people and, at a profound level, for others in ministry to Christian young people. Now you can get close to Mike's heart too. This is not a book of how-tos for youth ministry. This is a book on how to <em>be</em> Christ-empowered youth ministers."--David Bryant, Chairman, America's National Prayer Committee, Founder, PROCLAIM HOPE!<br><br>"As I read this book I remembered why I was drawn to Mike Higgs ten years go. It was his spiritual honesty, his dissatisfaction with the status quo and his passionate pursuit of God. Mike, thank you for this challenge to be changed, and for inviting us to 'snorkel' with you in God's great River!"--Eddie Smith, Founder/President, U.S. Prayer Center<br><br>"I so appreciate Mike Higgs's honesty, integrity and biblical insights in addressing such a needed perspective on youth ministry. He writes from a wealth of experience and expertise!"--Nancy Wilson, Associate National Director, Student Venture<br><br>"Mike Higgs is one of the most unique, authentic and anointed youth leaders in America today. Mike's characteristic honesty and transparency permeate this work and make it 'stand out.' Speaking as a 'wounded healer, ' he works honestly to generate and release a spirit of personal renewal, consecration and heightened faith for the turbulent postmodern future already upon us. This is a much-needed and vitally important discourse for all pastors and church leaders to read and prayerfully ponder."--Gary Bergel, President, Intercessors for America / Youth Interceding for America<br><br>"Youth workers who minister out of the fullness of their own lives in Christ always make the biggest bang for the kingdom. Yet how easily we are distracted by the trappings of youth-work: programs, strategies and the like! Mike Higgs's book calls us back, individually and corporately, to our first love. Such renewal is not an option if we are to reach the emerging generations of youth."--Barry St. Clair, President, Reach Out Youth Solutions<br>
