ISBN: 9780310349709.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRowdy, restless, silly, out of control, moody, vulgar, disrespectful, unpredictable -- this may be the junior high stereotype, writes youth ministry expert Wayne Rice. But early adolescents enthusiasm, loyalty, energy, candidness, and willingness to learn -- these more than compensate for the well-publicized hazards of working with middle schoolers. In this edition of Junior High Ministry -- updated and expanded to reflect the realities of middle school ministry at the turn of the century -- the cofounder of Youth Specialties takes a comprehensive look at the early adolescent experience: - A case for junior high ministry -- and what it takes to work effectively with junior highers. - New material of turn-of-the-century trends in the youth culture -- and on programming for kids living in this culture. - A chapter each on the five pivotal areas of development -- physical, social, intellectual, psycho-emotional, and faith -- among junior highers. - Altogether new chapters on parental involvement and mentoring in the context of junior high ministry . . . all topped off with 50 creative and practical ideas -- fun and games, Bible study openers, mixers, entire events -- that are tailored for junior highers in Sunday school, the youth room, or your living room. Whether youre training for youth work or a trainer of youth workers, Junior High Ministry will keep finding its dog-eared way to the top of your most used resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zondervan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118431068213,"sku":"ByrdShop_0310349702","price":60.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780310349709_44e3eecd-b758-4cf0-93d3-7b48451be961.jpg?v=1778831243","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/junior-high-ministry-a-guidebook-for-the-leading-and-teaching-of-early-adolescents-9780310349709","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
