Two book ideas that have been floating around in my mind for the last few weeks:
First, Campus Ministry: The Other Ministry to Students would be about my misadventures in campus ministry. I considered calling it “So, When Are You Going to Do Youth Ministry?” in honor of the question that I’m most asked by my friends, mentors, parents, etc. There is a huge hole when it comes to campus ministry information. There is a good deal of Catholic books but on the Protestant side not so much. That is book idea number one.
Number two is a book in the tradition of ministry idea books like Youth Specialties’ Videos That Teach and Group’s Blockbuster Movie Illustrations.
I want to name this new book Firm on the Rock: Messages that Move You.
Using music illistrations from The Police, U2, R.E.M., Clapton, Dylan and many others I hope to give ministers and teachers a new perspective on these old favorites. The tagline could be something like “Redeeming With Soul”.
What songs would you like to see in this forthcoming book? Help me out with ideas.
Did you know that the bible is the most circulated book in the world, as well as the MOST STOLEN? Don’t get any ideas…
Like the idea alot… Audioslave hits me. . . Show me how to live, I am the Highway… etc. Alot of Proverbs that I’ve been on lately… Prayed for it and He has… the Spirit is awesome dude…
As one of your parents I would like to go on record as saying we think you ARE doing youth ministry and don’t need to be working for a church to do that! Love you!
