Final Review - PDYM

Well the book is finished.  What a GREAT youth ministry tool.  I so appreciated his down-to-earth perspective.  And even though there are tools that he mentions that are beyond our resources, he's also very careful to mention that you can do without it. 

I was relieved while reading the section on leaders.  That's pretty much a mirror of how I've viewed team building in ministry.  It's nice to be affirmed by someone with a successful and fruitful ministry.  :o)  I liked the 10 step process he mentions.  We basically do most of those things!  I think I may refine our process a little bit for future leaders.  And I like that he says current leaders and students should help invite new leaders!!

I have to admit I skimmed the Peseverance chapter.  Confession...  It wasn't anything new, but again it was very well articulated! I've read a lot on this topic this year with Signet.  The discipline info was awesome. Very practical and scripturally based.  I know that I will refer back to this book often.  I would also highly recommend it to anyone in youth ministry.
