Why are the young people leaving the church? Maybe because we are trying to entertain them instead of make them mature Christian adults.
Look Inside the Book or Listen on Audible*
Today, everybody seems to be trying desperately to reach out to young people in the church, even as they increasingly flee from it. This is largely because the church today does not expect what it ought to from children or their parents, and this can be attributed, at least in part, to a flawed concept of youth ministry. This need not, and should not, be so.
Brief but striking, this booklet by Dr. Chris Schlect traces the historical origins of present-day youth ministry and sifts through the people and ideas that contributed to its development. It also provides an honest, biblical starting place for discussing the nature and purpose of youth ministry. Above all, the intent of this booklet is to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers.
You can also purchase this as an audiobook here, on audible,* on SCRIBD, and wherever audiobooks are sold.

What People Are Saying:
"This was a surprising gem. If you take his thesis on generational interaction and run with it, this applies to many, many things more than just youth ministry. Succinct and important." -Christopher
"Takes about 15 minutes to read and it's straight to the point. Fathers and mothers are wholly responsible for bringing up children in godliness. If youth groups act as a surrogate we have gone terribly wrong." -Aaron
