Communicate!, (Paperback)

How do we communicate with today's youth? Why are we losing so many of our young people to the world if we are communicating the principles of God's Word? We are not communicating the message that produces values and principles. Many parents and youth leaders just do not have the skills needed to communicate these principles. We not only need to know how to communicate, but we need to know the principles to communicate which will empower youth to gain character, stability, and consistency for their future years. Many of our youth are not developing their ability to maintain a Christian stance. Throughout this book, issues are developed which address these questions. Methods and techniques are discussed which can be used by youth leaders, along with information to help better deal with the principle concern in: (1) Communicating (2) Retaining today's youth for tomorrow's church "Dr. John Gross has filled this book to overflowing with facts, tools, insights, and practical ways any church can use to communicate with youth, not only in their church but also in their community and city. Every pastor, parent, youth pastor or lay youth worker needs to study and apply this book as an essential resource for reaching the next generation for Christ."-Dr. Larry Keefauver, Bestselling Author and International Speaker Dr. John A.
