At Risk Youth: A Comprehensive Response for Counselors, Teachers, Psychologists, and Human Services ... 1 review
J. Jeffries McWhirter, Benedict T. McWhirter, ...
Brooks Cole, 2006
Good introduction to at-risk youth
The McWhirter's book provides a nice introduction to workingwith at-risk youth. This book is undoubtedly marked towardsundergraduate students and as a result the authors do a few things that are a bt too "cute" for my taste--like using their poetry and sayings at the beginning each chapter and using a tree metaphor to talk about at-risk behavior. Also, I did not find the case studies ...

The Catholic Faith Handbook for Youth7 reviews
Brian Singer-Towns, Janet Claussen, ...
Saint Mary's Press, 2003
Excellent resource
It's getting harder and harder these days to find good information on the Church that isn't tainted by polemic. I have used this resource as part of confirmation programs, RCIA, high school classes, and had people tell me it was great just to peruse through as a reference. Faithful to the Catechism and the broader Tradition, but also engaging and apropos to the interests and questions of most ...

Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth: Book 1102 reviews
Peter Kelder
Doubleday, 1998
It's interesting that's for sure!
This book introduces you to the Tibetan rites of Rejuvenation! It's a series of odd exercises developed in the monasteries of Tibet. It claims to increase energy, help with memory, weight loss, and even help you look younger.
These excises are fairly simple for a healthy person to do, and I would imagine very difficult for people with various disabilities. I've done them on and off for ...

Youth Football Skills & Drills3 reviews
Tom Bass
International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2005
A must for Youth Football coaches
Got the book last week, read it over the week-end. First practice last night with the 8-9 year old team. I had prepared drills for the D-Line as I am D-Line coach.
The defensive coordinator couldn't make it and there were only 11 kids at practice on defense because of vacations.
I improvised with individual and group drills, that I picked up in the book, for 60 minutes. Kept the practice ...

Youth in Revolt201 reviews
C.D. Payne
Main Street Books, 1996
Fun and worthwhile, both as a writer and teen
1. Teens:
I read Twisp AND then I read a hundred Amazon reviews of this book afterwards. Did anyone notice that the ADULTS said teens don't talk like these characters while the 14 year old TEENS said "a teen can't find a better book?" I tend to trust the teen perspective.
As a young-adult writer, I've heard other published YA writers say that if your reader is 14, make your protagonist act ...

Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth Book 2
This book is a must for health lovers and people who want to take action in caring for themselves. Together with Book 1, the comments from various specialists help round out the picture of "whole health" steps and actions that is missing from many health regimes nowadays.

Hitler Youth: Growing Up in Hitler's Shadow26 reviews
Susan Campbell Bartoletti
Scholastic Nonfiction, 2005
Wow - Incredible Resource
I cannot say enough about how impressed I was by this book. For students in Jr High and up, this is an incredible resource on teenage life in Nazi Germany. This book will bring WWII to life for them in a dramatic and immediate way.
The book follows many different "normal" teens through these years, discussing which options were available to each of them and what the results were of the ...

BEST "nuts & bolts" book out there on ministry
This book is genius!
I have been through youth ministry courses, I have been to youth specialties, I have been in minsitry (13 years) and I have read the books...
You will not find a more comprehensive, nuts & bolts book out there. I frankly don't understand why this book isn't more popular. EVERY young pastor and minister should have this book on their shelf and reference it often.

Reclaiming Youth at Risk: Our Hope for the Future6 reviews
Larry K. Brendtro, Martin Brokenleg, ...
Solution Tree, 2001
I had my doubts...
I just finished reading Reclaiming Youth at Risk. I had my doubts at first. It uses Native American child-raising philosophy in helping create redeeming environments for our youth today. It has caused me to have a much deeper respect for the native american people as well.
A quote from poet Edwin Markham:
He drew a circle to shut me out.
Heretic, rebel a thing to flout.
But ...

Contemplative Youth Ministry: Practicing the Presence of Jesus (Youth Specialties)7 reviews
Mark Yaconelli
Zondervan/Youth Specialties, 2006
Extraordinary Resource
This is a stunning book. It's grounded in a seven year Lilly Endowment study of youth ministry. The power of the book is in its authenticity, its deep reality. We lived in a speeded-up, multi-tasking society. A richer life lies in a real connection with God and deep relationships with others. Youth yearn for real conversations with loving adults, they need and respond beautifully to ...

Testament of Youth (Penguin Classics)31 reviews
Vera Brittain
Penguin Classics, 2005
Indispensable autobiography
The word "classic" gets thrown around a lot these days. Many so-called "modern classics" are not that important, but "Testament of Youth" deserves this reprint as a Penguin Classic. Brittain tells of her early life in the north of England between 1893 and the start of World War I in 1914 in beautifully clear prose, and her clarity of thought and powers of observation make the bulk of the book, ...
