Book Reviews of Youth Ministry Management Tools
Book Review: Great material, but the disc could use some help
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this book to help boost my image as a competent, planning, scheduling, organizing, detail-oriented, type A personality. Which of course, I'm not because those types of personalities rarely get into youth ministry. But youth ministry does involve endless piles of administrative details that all have to be done precisely and accurately and if they aren't done it bothers the Powers That Be. So I got this book and so far it has been very helpful. A lot of quality thoughts and bullet point lists to help guide us creative types towards more streamlined, organized, and efficient ministries. My only complaint is the software that comes with it could use some help. It has chunky icons and graphics that make you think it is a lot older than it looks and, it's Achilles Heel, it doesn't work for Macs. It does work for Macs if you use Parallels and it does look like it could be a very powerful organizing tool for anyone willing to put in the time on it, so it isn't awful software. I would give the software a B and the book an A.
Summary of Youth Ministry Management Tools
Youth ministry only looks like it revolves around the youth room. You know better: a successful youth ministry involves a myriad of administrative and operational details. So what do you need today? A sample budget, then a form for creating one of your own? Release forms for trips? Clear direction on screening applicants for volunteer positions? Checklists, reminders, and tips for writing agendas, event flyers, and calendars?Whatever hits you when you walk into your office each morning, just pull Youth Ministry Management Tools for quick and accessible answers to your management, administrative, and supervisory questions and needs. Sprinkled throughout the manual are brief personal anecdotes by actual, in-the-trenches youth workers just like you---case studies of church-office debacles, small but pivotal lessons learned, nightmare scenarios to avoid, and glorious successes to emulate.Christian Living Books
