Review # 1 was written on 2018-07-14 00:00:00 Jeff Hans This book has an interesting idea but I'm not sure it would work for every church. The idea is to get parents more involved with Youth ministry and their children's spiritual life but many parents of youth kids do not go to church. This problem isn't really addressed other than holding more parent events. It's an interesting idea and I will probably try some of the things mentioned.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-10-14 00:00:00 Noah Lepage This book basically discusses the importance of drawing from parents as resources when doing youth ministry. This is something that youth programs rarely do well, so it serves as a good reminder. The book also reminds readers not to uphold the nucleus family as an idol in itself, for the Church, as God's family, can serve many functions that family itself cannot, and can stand in the gap to support people from broken families. It gives you a good foundational philosophy about how to support youth in their spiritual growth. The practical suggestions in the last chapter are helpful and give you a sense of where to start if you want to cultivate parents/adults as resource for youth ministry.
