A MUST read for the Middle School Volunteer/Leader

This is a wonderful book and will be a great resource for ANY leader/volunteer in the middle school/jr. high ministry!!! I highly recommend it. I also want to through out there that if you are the parent of a child this age this book is a must. Great tips on connecting to this age group whether you are leading in a church or guiding your pre-teen child. It will normalize "them" and reminded me how certain behaviors are stages/phases and hey are not just immature kids - they are going through a lot and desperately need loving, mature, adults who get them, not by just saying it but by living it. GREAT READ BUY THIS BOOK AND PRAYERFULLY READ IT :O)

Well-Rounded Look at Junior High Ministry

Wayne Rice encompasses many perspectives and areas of junior high ministry. The physical, social, intellectual, emotional, and faith areas of development within a junior higher were discussed for a more complete understanding of their changing world. It was very informative and the book made some exceedingly good points that should be remembered when working with this age group.It is a quick and easy read and very informative with the basics needed. I believe that if you want to get a quick grasp with some in depth insights on junior high ministry this would be an excellent choice.
