This handbook combines the insights and experience of over fifty men and women who not only understand youth ministry, but who also have directly and effectively ministered to the spiritual and relational needs of youth. Their combined wisdom represents literally hundreds of years of ministry to youth, and I thank all of them for sharing their wisdom in this handbook.
I also thank Ray Willey for challenging me with the original idea of developing this handbook and for the many hours he spent contacting youth leaders and reviewing the chapters. I also want to thank Sean McDowell for managing the entire project from beginning to end as he selected the topics; edited every chapter; and, as lead compiler, coordinated the overall effort. I am not only a proud father but also a grateful colaborer with my son.
And finally, thanks to Dave Bellis, my resource developer of twenty-four years, for guiding this project though the publishing maze, and to Can-dace McMahan for her editorial skills.
JOSH MCDOWELL
As lead compiler, I want to thank Ray Willey for asking me to be a part of this project; Dottie, my mom, for providing such help to me during the editing process; Dave Bellis for his expert guidance; and finally, Josh, my dad, for believing in meIm proud to be called your son.
