By: John Miller
The ministry of Young Life has been effectively reaching teenagers for Christ for many decades now. John Miller was there almost right from the begining of Young Life's journey into figuring out just how to become so entrenched among the lives of so many teenagers. Back to the Basics is John's account of this faith testing start and how the minsitry shaped his family and so many others.
John recalls his first interactions with Jim Rayburn the founder of Young Life and how he heard his call into the uncharted waters of the Young Life ministry. He explains the sacrafice and faith that went into following the call of God into this new profession. Along the way John discusses the underlying theology and ideaology of why Young Life is the way it is.
If you are in Young Life now you need to read this book. It will give a glimpse of the big picture that you are apart of and just how important your role is to the ministry. For those of you who have never done anything with Young Life, I highly suggest giving this book a read over. I believe once you are done with it there will be no way you won't want to get involved with Young Life and it's simply radical ideaology for reaching youth for Christ.
