This book explores youth ministry and the role of the youth minister by looking at a range of various metaphors for the youth worker, such as ‚flawed hero‘, ‚visionary architect‘, ‚party planner‘ and ‚guardian of souls‘. Each chapter takes one of these metaphors as a central theme, offers biblical and/or theological reflection on this aspect of youth ministry, explains the relevant theory and the necessary skills, uses real-life stories from practitioners to bring the metaphor to life, summarizes the key principles and values, gives questions for reflection and makes suggestions for further reading.
