5.0 out of 5 stars Well-Rounded Look at Junior High Ministry, June 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Junior High Ministry (Paperback)

Wayne Rice encompasses many perspectives and areas of junior high ministry. The physical, social, intellectual, emotional, and faith areas of development within a junior higher were discussed for a more complete understanding of their changing world. It was very informative and the book made some exceedingly good points that should be remembered when working with this age group.

It is a quick and easy read and very informative with the basics needed. I believe that if you want to get a quick grasp with some in depth insights on junior high ministry this would be an excellent choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST read for the Middle School Volunteer/Leader, April 7, 2009

By	Amanda J. Martin "Lover of livng words." (TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Junior High Ministry (Paperback)

This is a wonderful book and will be a great resource for ANY leader/volunteer in the middle school/jr. high ministry!!! I highly recommend it. I also want to through out there that if you are the parent of a child this age this book is a must. Great tips on connecting to this age group whether you are leading in a church or guiding your pre-teen child. It will normalize "them" and reminded me how certain behaviors are stages/phases and hey are not just immature kids - they are going through a lot and desperately need loving, mature, adults who get them, not by just saying it but by living it.
GREAT READ BUY THIS BOOK AND PRAYERFULLY READ IT :O)
