Mark De Vries has brought a fresh and exciting approach to youth ministry with his book, 'Family-Based Youth Ministry (Revised Edition).'

De Vries stresses that youth workers need not be frustrated by problems in your ministry. Perhaps you have exhausted all possible ideas for activities? Or maybe you're concerned about the size of the group?

The author argues that a family-based youth ministry should focus upon the whole church as a family rather than just an immediate family. So youth should be involved in the church life in order to achieve an effective, family based youth ministry.

Crucially, De Vries urges readers to avoid any worry about size or cost, and instead focus on the methods described that will help youths get involved in church life and develop as mature Christians.
