I caught onto Root via his articles, too. I think the first thing I read was in the Journal of Student Ministries. I try to read anything he writes.

Yeah, I’ve read Practicing Passion. It’s been a while since I’ve read either, but in my mind Godbearing Life stuck out as more “theological.” Both are great books.

Thanks for the comment.

Matt, I’m reading this book right now and it’s totally blowing my mind. I read a shorter article by root a long time ago that was essentially a major distillation of this book, and loved it. I have to agree with everything you’ve said… I think this book is pretty much ground-breaking in the field of YM.

Kenda Creasy Dean’s book “Practicing Passion: Youth and the Quest for a Passionate Church” is pretty theological as well… you should check it out. It is a practical theology as well.
