This book is an attitude overhaul that creates a more organic approach to youth ministry that helps you create meaningful silence, covenant communities, and contemplative activities that allow your students recognize the presence of Jesus in their everyday lives.

	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - A Review by Two Fuller Seminary Students! Contemplative Youth Ministry is written to provide Christian youth workers with both a theoretical framework for and the practical application of a "contemplative" youth ministry model. Yaconelli posits his model as an alternative to the two other ones he finds common today: the "Consumer model," where ministries try to keep students busy "having fun," in hopes they will stay out of trouble and become moral; and the "Content model," which is hierarchical and "Word driven," focusing on doctrine and conformity but weak on relationships. He proposes the "Contemplative model" which places the focus on developing relationships, "being present" with people rather than trying to "fix" problems, incorporating spiritual practices like lectio divina, centering prayer, spiritual direction, and silence. Eui likes Yaconelli's emphasis on the importance of the minister's own relationship with God, believing this provides an infinite source of love and wisdom. However, she also feels it is a bit idealistic, with the complicacy of human relationships and elements of church politics rarely allowing a minister to be free enough to solely focus on God. Instead, they are often pulled back-and-forth between parents' anxieties about the moral education of their children and youth's anxieties about becoming an adult with a "boring" life. Chris appreciates its emphasis on listening and "being" with students, and developing a praying, discerning, and reflective community of adult leaders. He is also excited to try out some of the exercises mentioned in the book with his own students. We both agree that this is an excellent book that will help re-focus a youth worker on God's determined, patient love for youth. (Co-written by Eui Heo) + See Full Customer Review
