YOUTH MINISTRY LEMONADE

Co-Author: Joshua Becker,

                Essex Alliance Church

If life were a bowl of fruit, most youth workers would have their share of lemons in it.  Not just lemons... there would be tasty strawberries, pineapples, and mangos; but there would still be those lemons!  Mistakes, mess-ups, and misfortunes.  Some bitter, others downright sour.

Many youth leaders try to dodge, duck, or completely avoid lemons, but the ten authors in this book believe there is a better way.  They've discovered how to mix Youth Ministry Lemonade by allowing God to take "sour" experiences and turn them into leadership success. 

Inside the pages of this book are ten real life stories.  Some humorous, a few serious, but each intensely personal.
