{"product_id":"junior-high-ministry-wayne-rice-9780310224426","title":"Junior High Ministry: A Guide to Early Adolescence for Youth Workers","description":"\u003cp\u003eRowdy, restless, silly, out of control, moody, vulgar, disrespectful, unpredictable -- this may be the junior high stereotype, writes youth ministry expert Wayne Rice. But early adolescents' enthusiasm, loyalty, energy, candidness, and willingness to learn -- these more than compensate for the well-publicized hazards of working with middle schoolers. In this edition of Junior High Ministry -- updated and expanded to reflect the realities of middle school ministry at the turn of the century -- the cofounder of Youth Specialties takes a comprehensive look at the early adolescent experience: - A case for junior high ministry -- and what it takes to work effectively with junior highers. - New material of turn-of-the-century trends in the youth culture -- and on programming for kids living in this culture. - A chapter each on the five pivotal areas of development -- physical, social, intellectual, psycho-emotional, and faith -- among junior highers. - Altogether new chapters on parental involvement and mentoring in the context of junior high ministry . . . all topped off with 50 creative and practical ideas -- fun and games, Bible study openers, mixers, entire events -- that are tailored for junior highers in Sunday school, the youth room, or your living room. Whether you're training for youth work or a trainer of youth workers, Junior High Ministry will keep finding its dog-eared way to the top of your most used resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wayne Rice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 031022442X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780310224426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zondervan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.17h x 5.94w x 0.60d","brand":"Wayne Rice","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946419781887,"sku":"9780310224426","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bc81b6e3-4f83-49de-8946-6e64e9b4798f.jpg?v=1681513043","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/junior-high-ministry-wayne-rice-9780310224426","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
