Baker Publishing Group The End Of Youth Ministry? : Why Parents Don'T Really Care About Youth Groups And What Youth Workers Should Do About It

What is youth ministry actually for? And does it have a future? Andrew Root, a leading scholar in youth ministry and practical theology, went on a one-year journey to answer these questions.In this book, Root weaves together an innovative first-person fictional narrative to diagnose the challenges facing the church today and to offer a new vision for youth ministry in the 21st century. Informed by interviews that Root conducted with parents, this book explores how parents' perspectives of what constitutes a good life are affecting youth ministry.In today's culture, youth ministry can't compete with sports, test prep, and the myriad other activities in which young people participate.Through a unique parable-style story, Root offers a new way to think about the purpose of youth ministry: not happiness, but joy.Joy is a sense of experiencing the good. For youth ministry to be about joy, it must move beyond the youth group model and rework the assumptions of how identity and happiness are imagined by parents in American society.
