Description: Youth ministry must return to the home.

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 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.

About the Author
Once a youth minister himself, Christopher Shlect is now an elder at Trinity Reformed Church and a Fellow of History at New Saint Andrews College. He holds a B.A. and an M.A. in History and is presently pursuing his doctoral degree. Schlect's interests in history, particularly church history, are wide-ranging, but his most recent research concerns the role of J. Gresham Machen in the Presbyterian schism of the early twentieth century and its impact in the Pacific Northwest. He is a contributing editor for Credenda/Agenda and has written for Tabletalk and Classis. He is also the author of Christian Worldview and Apologetics, and a contributor to Repairing the Ruins: The Classical and Christian Challenge to Modern Education. He and his wife, Brenda, have five children and live in Idaho.
