Is your youth ministry reaching everyone it can?

You may think you can reach only those kids who are "like you" or who easily fit your youth ministry style. But the experienced youth workers who wrote this book give you the tools you need to reach beyond your current ministry.

You'll get insights into all kinds of young people, the issues they face, and what you can offer them. The book also offers tons of practical ideas for connecting with kids-like SWARTBACs (Students Who Are Required To Be At Church)...youth with disabilities...teenage moms...young people who have alcohol and drug issues...and even shy students.
