As a consequence, youth ministries in large cities have\u003cbr\u003e tended to settle onto one of three paths--a traditional paradigm that\u003cbr\u003e jealously guards the spiritual formation of its young people, a liberal\u003cbr\u003e paradigm that concentrates exclusively on personal growth, and an activist\u003cbr\u003e paradigm that galvanizes youth around the social concerns surrounding\u003cbr\u003e them. While each of these emphases is important, too often they are\u003cbr\u003e pursued to the neglect of the others, and the urban church suffers.\u003cbr\u003e Fernando Arzola Jr. proposes a fourth way, a prophetic paradigm that\u003cbr\u003e integrates the three and cultivates young people who are spiritually rooted, \u003cbr\u003e emotionally mature and responsive to the needs of their community. In this\u003cbr\u003e pace-setting book he draws on various disciplines--from biology to\u003cbr\u003e sociology, from psychology to theology--to guide urban youth workers into\u003cbr\u003e an effective and transformational ministry to youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9.06 x 6.48 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 18, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42607088336992,"sku":"9780830828029","price":45.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/TE9uWmgxSDVOV3ltK09LUHFMQmlXZz09.webp?v=1771840537","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/toward-a-prophetic-youth-ministry-theory-and-praxis-in-urban-context-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
