Decription

In the midst of fractured families, broken schools and violent neighborhoods, kids today need more from us than a bible study and a prayerful pat on the back. Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets; as well as a new research project by Fuller Seminary's Center for Youth and Family Ministry, give youth workers an invaluable set of tools to help kids thrive, not just spiritually, but also physically, emotionally, intellectually and relationally.
