Description
This book addresses the vital role of public Christian worship in adolescent spiritual formation and shows how important youth ministry and worship ministry are to each other. Drawing on his extensive experience in worship ministry and youth ministry, Eric Mathis offers insights into the worship practices of teenagers, corrects common misperceptions about worship, and critically examines four prominent worship models. Mathis invites readers to elevate the voices of young people in the worshiping community and enhance worship for all ages. Foreword by Kenda Creasy Dean.
