Your First Two Years in Youth Ministry: A Personal and Practical Guide to Starting Right

Since forever altering the course of the youth ministry world with his best-selling, groundbreaking book, Purpose-DrivenÂ® Youth Ministry, Doug Fieldsâ€™ mindâ€”but especially his heartâ€”has been focused on the many unique needs of new youth workers.

Doug translated his passion, insight, and vision for his beloved â€œrookiesâ€ into what youâ€™re now reading, Your Fist Two Years in Youth Ministryâ€”hands-down the most comprehensive companion to not only surviving, but also thriving, during the most crucial phase of youth ministry.

Employing his renowned wisdom and humorâ€”as if you and Doug were chatting over a long, relaxing mealâ€”the author disarmingly relates stories and principles from his own successes and failures over 20-plus years in youth ministry. In the end, he offers treasure troves of practical advice, all in the hope that new youth workers can travel a smoother path and achieve real longevity in a church culture that all too often chews them and spits them out.

Doug covers all-important issues such as:
Â· Dealing with discouragement
Â· Establishing a solid spiritual foundation
Â· Building effective relationships with students
Â· Resolving conflict
Â· Ministering to parents and families
Â· Trailblazing change
Â· Working with volunteers
Â· Defining a realistic job description
Â· And many others!

In addition, a chorus of insightful sidebar voices joins your conversation with Doug, among them ministry veterans Jim Burns, Steve Gerali, Mike Yaconelli, Helen Musick, Chap Clark, Marv Penner, Rick Warren, Jana L. Sundene, Bo Boshers, Duffy Robbins, Tony Campolo, and Richard Ross, all whoâ€™ve composed extensive, topical essays for each of the dozen chapters.

Your First Two Years of Youth Ministry is a must-have tool for new youth workers, volunteers, seminary professors and students, senior pastors, elders, church boardsâ€”even veteran youth workers whoâ€™ve been ministering in unstructured environments and are now asking, â€œWhat did I miss? What can I still learn?â€

The first two years of youth ministry are never easy. But never fear. Doug fervently assures us: â€œHang on. Hopeâ€™s coming!â€
