In this contemplative and well-researched book, McGarry considers the role of local congregations in discipling children and teens for the Kingdom of God. By addressing the increasingly contested question of youth ministry amongGod's people from a multilayered perspective - bibilical, theological, historical, and practical - McGarry brings a much needed voice of appreciation, careful critique, along with practical guidance, to the discussion. Find a compelling case for you ministry as a bridge between church and home that is rooted in the Old and New Testaments and is in keeping with historic practice of the Church. Slightly Imperfect.
