Root and Dean invite readers to envision youth ministries full of practical theologians, follow them into reflection on a personal practice of theology, and learn how to share that theology through rich conversation and purposeful experience.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><ul> <li>2012 <em>Christianity Today</em> Book Award of Merit winner</li> </ul><p> <em>What haunts your youth group?</em> So often we avoid talking about doubts and fears because we feel inadequately equipped to address them in any meaningful way. The crisis of existence can't be answered with pat Sunday school formulas or a few Bible verses, let alone another relay race. The questions our youth have are often the same ones that perplexed the great theologians, driving them to search for God in the places God didn't appear to be--places of brokenness, suffering and confusion. What if we let these questions drive our search for God too? Andrew Root and Kenda Creasy Dean invite you to envision youth ministries full of practical theologians, addressing the deep questions of life with a wonderfully adolescent mix of idealism, cynicism and prophetic intolerance for hypocrisy. Follow them into reflection on your own practice of theology, and learn how to share that theology through rich, compassionate conversation and purposeful experience.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Andrew Root and Kenda Creasy Dean invite you to envision youth ministries full of practical theologians, addressing the deep questions of life with a wonderfully adolescent mix of idealism, cynicism, and prophetic intolerance for hypocrisy.</p>--Youth Discipleship Leadership, Summer 2012<br><br><p>It is time to turn to theological substance and faith formation. This book talks about why this is true, and more important, it demonstrates how it may be done. The closing postscript on youth ministry as practical theology is worth the price of admission.</p>--The Christian Century, October 17, 2012<br><br><p>Root and Dean invite readers to envision youth ministries full of practical theologians, addressing the deep questions of life with a wonderfully adolescent mix of idealism, cynicism, and prophetic intolerance for hypocrisy.</p>--YouthWorker Journal, July/August 2011<br><br><p>This book has much to commend itself. It both offers fresh approaches to issues the church has thought about often, and addresses new areas about which the church has not thought enough. . . . Having read this book and absorbed the depth and vision the authors present, I find myself hopeful. . . . If youth ministry is the research and development department to the church, then this product is ready to launch for the sake of the world.</p>--Philip L.
