shares with readers that youth ministry needs leaders who are willing to invest
in four “essentials”. The Essential of Self-Development: caring for your
personal spiritual fitness to be the person God has in mind; The Essential of
Other-Development: recruiting, equipping, and caring for volunteer leadership; The
Essential of Managing Well: establishing an operational system that is sustainable,
biblical, and enjoyable; The Essential of Gospelizing: filtering and evaluating
your ministry through the lens of discipleship and evangelism. Dr. Charles W.
Boyd invites readers to evaluate what they do from these four essentials.
Dr. Boyd says,
“There is finally a book that takes you from the historical rise of youth
ministry to organizing and leading youth ministry with excellence in a
post-modern culture.”
