Title: Help! I'm a Volunteer Youth Worker by Doug Fields ISBN: 0-310-57551-6 Publisher: Zondervan Publishing Company Pub. Date: 08 February, 1993 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $7.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.8 (5 reviews)

Summary: Good, but Short
Comment: Doug provides 52 great ideas for serving as a volunteer youth worker. The ideas range from the obvious to the amazingly practical (probably depending on how long you've already worked with teens!). It helps that this book can be read in one night (really!) and can be applied in small church contexts of almost any sort.
The weakness of this book is that it doesn't have much to over beyond the ideas themselves. There are no case studies to illustrate the suggestions made, leaving the reader to figure it out on their own. In the end, Doug passes on a great starter resource worthy of reading, but should not be compared with his more recent and more helpful books.
Rating: 5
Summary: For Newbies
Comment: This book is very short and to the point (can be fully read while you wait for the pizza man to get to your house.) If you have any prior ministry experience, or doing things with various organizations, you probably don't need this book... though it might be good for refreshing yourself on a couple things. In general, some practical advice.

Summary: Excellent nugget, but not a treatise
Comment: Perfect book to hand out to your youth ministry volunteers, and to go over and discuss. It's a small book, with one bit advice per page. It's not long on words - this thing is not a book about youth ministry, or how to do youth ministry. It's a short, quickie book of reminders to adults of how to interact and be in relationship with young people. So don't get this if you are looking for a how-to book, but definitely get it for something to give to the team, and also for yourself to look over from time to time and be reminded of some relational things you might have forgotten about, etc.
It's also usable in pretty much every church - whether conservative or liberal, evaneglical, charismatic, or mainline, since it isn't about teaching doctrine, but about how to be with young poeple (and not go insane, and not drive them insane).
I am quite impressed with it, and certainly think that all youth ministers and youth ministry volunteers should have a copy. Very helpful.
