Okay --- Keep Searching!!!

Reviewer: Michael M
Pastor Smith, in his book Raising Up Young Heroes, writes common sense and practical and restates what has already been said. Raising Up Young Heroes is okay. The book takes a holistic approach to youth ministry, in an attempt to change the student from the inside out. This book will NOT really help you better minister to a culture that is ever changing. He tells you what to do, but now how to do it. Keep searching for something more concrete and useful. Save you money.
