Equipping adults to lead students to spiritual maturity
(Previously published as Leadership!)

Barry St. Clair does a fantastic job of breaking down youth ministry in such a way that a volunteer can fully understand his role as a youth leader while keeping his personal focus of Christ as Lord. As a youth pastor, I’m constantly dealing with that critical issue of time – time for myself and helping youth leaders balance the amount of time they give to serving in our student ministry while still taking care of important needs such as family and personal time. This book helps volunteers address this critical issue of time with practical application included. One other great piece to this book is that it teaches leaders how to lead.

Barry St. Clair uses the biblical four-step approach that Jesus used in leading His disciples:
1) Leader does the work and the potential leader is with him,
2) Leader does the work and the potential leader assists,
3) The potential leader does the work and the leader assists,
4) The potential leader does the work and the leader observes.

Biography:
Dr. Barry St. Clair, founder and president of Reach Out Youth Solutions, has been on the cutting edge of youth ministry for over thirty years. Twenty-eight years of marriage, raising four children, the death of his first wife Carol, his experience as a single parent, his remarriage to Lawanna, blending a family, and being a grandfather of eight makes his perspective real-life and compelling.
