Editorial Reviews

Review

"I recently handed out copies of The Fuel and The Flame to all of Campus Crusade’s missions leaders. I have a son who just started college this fall and I sent him off with a copy as well. F and F is among the most visionary, historical, and practical handbooks published in the past two decades."
-- Ken Cochrum, Campus Crusade for Christ, VP, GlobalCampusStrategy

"I read every word. I couldn't put it down. I've been looking for something to train my key students and this is perfect. If you really want to do campus ministry, you have to get this book."
-- Derrick Moore, Fellowship of Christian Athletes

"This is an awesome book on how to build and grow a Christian campus ministry, written by a man with great experience and insight in that area. Having been involved in campus ministry for 6 years as a graduate and 4 years as a student, I thought that this book would be, at best, review for me. Instead I found myself challenged throughout. Now I have to read it over again, taking thorough notes on how I want to reshape what I do on campus. I highly recommend it."
-- Chris

"As a college student my life was changed by living out the principles that Steve teaches in this book. The Fuel and the Flame is a catalyst for every young adult seeking to take the Christian life seriously. From beginning to end Steve draws you in as he offers incredible insight on how to change your world."
-- Todd Ahrend, The Traveling Teams

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Bible studies, March 1, 2004

By 

"bigred937" (Little Rock, AR United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Fuel and The Flame: 10 Keys to Ignite Your College Campus for Jesus Christ (Paperback)

I have never seen a book that is specifically for college ministry...until now! It is great for bible studies and leadership teams. There are so many ideas on how to minister to college students and especially greeks. I would recommend it to anyone who works with college students - whether in a church or campus ministry. Right now I know dozens of campuses are using this resource - it is so useful because it teaches timeless truths on the fundamentals of ministry - building relationships, evangelism, establishing new believers, equipping them to disciple and train others, and then how to launch them into the world as laymen or full time laborers!
