Australian Evangelical Perspectives on Youth Ministry

“When it comes to the physical health of young people, we want a pediatrician with rigorous, specialist training to care for them. It should be no different when it comes to their spiritual health. This volume evidences a high view of Scripture, depth of scholarship, and commitment to efficacy in practice that are hallmarks of Youthworks’ House conference, dedicated to the rigorous, specialist training of youth and children’s ministers. I commend it to you.”


—Craig Roberts, CEO, Anglican Youthworks





“This is a rich and satisfying feast of essays. There is not one weak contribution here; each was stimulating and thought provoking. Whilst this is from Australia it is not just for Australia, but will benefit thoughtful youth ministers across the globe.”


—Robin Barfield, lecturer in practical theology, Oak Hill College





“In Australian Evangelical Perspectives on Youth Ministry, Ruth Lukabyo has curated a great resource for youth ministry leaders and the church. Some books avoid being specific, but the truth is we learn best in the contextual details. By articulating an Australian perspective, the authors help all of us learn a more comprehensive view of youth ministry centered around identity, church, culture, and discipleship. You will be challenged in thought, theology, and practice by this great resource!”


—Brian Hull, professor of pastoral and Christian ministries, Asbury University
