Dangerous Wonder: The Adventure of Childlike Faith

Mike Yaconelli

Navpress, 1998

Beautiful Indictment...
I have read a good number of books that would fall in the "Christian Living" category, and a good majority of those that I've read were...nice. Few of them were truly inspiring. This is one of the few. With a measure of eloquence and grace I've not often seen in any genre, Mr. Yaconelli indicts the reader for our "maturity" and pushes us to realize the meaning of "childlike faith." ...

Disciple Experiment, The

some good ideas, but lacks direction
I know that "post-modern" thought is rather open ended-at least according to cultural commentators. This curriculum reflects this by giving student plenty of opportunity to reflect and draw conclusions. There are also some great, creative group activities. My criticism is that the point of each lesson is not always clear. The facilitator needs to take initiative to choose and pursue a direction ...

Messy Spirituality

Still Excellent
Mike speaks openly and honestly, giving voice to many thoughts and feelings of Christians who couldn't quite express themselves. This is an excellent book for starting conversations in churches and small groups. I've used it several times with my youth team as well. Groups express a freedom and a sigh of relief after reading it as it conquers the myths of a perfect spirituality and a formula ...

Best Game Book I Have Found!
My wife and I work with the youth in our church. We can't begin to tell you how great this book is and how often we use it. Not only for our youth, but our family and friends love to play so many of these games, too! The book is divided into different categories: Outdoor, indoor, small group, large group, mixers, etc. The directions to each game are easy to understand and have diagrams ...

everyone has a comment
I have used this book with a small group of 8-12 high school jr's and sr's for the last two years, and it has been a great success! The young people get very "into" the conversations - no matter what the topic, there is always alot of honest answers. I recommend this book highly!

Stories of Emergence: Moving from Absolute to Authentic (Emergent YS)

4 reviews

Zondervan/Youth Specialties, 2003

The Stories we find ourselves in.
I have a love hate thing going on with the emergent church. I love the critique of modernity and willow creek, but I sometimes wonder what positve contribution emergent people have brought to the dialogue. It is easier to tear down than destroy. But this is not a negative book. Not even a little. The people in this book are all very cultural engaged. And are all very diverse, and they focus on ...

Full of great games!
This book is a great resource for summer camp directors or other youth leaders. Each game is described in detail, and categorized by group size and space needed. A must-have for camping programs.

Play It Again!: More Great Games for Groups

Wayne Rice

Zondervan, 1993

One of the best resources for group play I've ever read.
As an activity director for a camping and cottage resort, I found this book to feature one crowd pleaser after another. Not only are the activities enticing, the format (activities grouped for large and small groups as well as indoor and outdoor play) is particuarly user-friendly. A great buy and a great sequel to Play It!
