I will certainly have to go back over the parts I underlined, but I like what he has to say. I have not read his other book(s), but after reading this one I'm going to get my hands on Revisiting Relational Youth Ministry! I found some of the "How" vs. "Who" lines in this book overplayed. I appreciated what he was saying, I just think that "How" (when kept in proper perspective) can play a necessary role in scheduling, budgeting, and all the other components of maintaining a youth ministry in a church context. His thoughts on relationships being devoid of ulterior motive, however, I believe to be spot-on! I think I came across this book on your site a couple of weeks ago, so I appreciate the heads-up.
