Book Reviews of Revisiting Relational Youth Ministry: From a Strategy of Influence to a Theology of Incarnation
Book Review: Seeing Relationships as More Than a Means to an End
Summary: 5 Stars
The author challenges us to see the relationships we build with youth in our ministry as more than a tool to lead them to Christ. He calls us to live out our theology, to see where Christ is present, which is in the center of our relationships with the youth.
While the book is broken into two parts it can really be broken into three. In the first section the author examines a history of how we got to the present culture where often the relationships built with youth are little more than tools to get them to buy into Christ, our ministry, and program. The second part examines three important theological questions we must answer: Who is Jesus? Where is Jesus Christ? What then shall we do? Then the author examines how this theology impacts our practical day-to-day relationships (place-sharing)with youth, parents, and other adults.
While the book is scholarly in nature, it is well written, making it accessible to a wider audience. The author uses multiple anecdotes to help the reader grasp the concepts described in the book. Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theology does play a major role in his book, but he is upfront with it. And rather than just continually spout off his theology the author takes his theology and, in a sense, translates it into a friendly format for youth ministry.
This book is for anyone who desires to live out theology instead of just talking about it; building deeper, more authentic relationships with youth.

Summary of Revisiting Relational Youth Ministry: From a Strategy of Influence to a Theology of Incarnation
In Revisiting Relational Youth Ministry, Andrew Root explores the origins of a dominant ministry model for evangelicals, showing how American culture has influenced our understanding of the incarnation. Drawing from Dietrich Bonhoeffer, whose work with German youth in troubled times shaped his own understanding of how Jesus intersects our relationships, Root recasts relational ministry as an opportunity not to influence the influencers but to stand with and for those in need. True relational youth ministry shaped by the incarnation is a commitment to enter into the suffering of all, to offer all those in high school or junior high the solidarity of the church.General Books
