According to the Children’s Defense Fund, every day in America six children and youth commit suicide, 13 children and youth are victims of homicide, and 316 children are arrested for violent crimes. If you’re working with youth these days, you’re encountering more and more at-risk and high-risk teenagers. Whether you are a pastor, youth worker, teacher, counselor or someone else working with teenagers, and you believe the Gospel is for everyone, this book is for you. God cares about at-risk youth and ”At Risk: Bringing Hope to Hurting Teenagers” shows how you can effectively care for them, too. It’s filled with real-life stories, practical suggestions, honest answers, and tools to help you evaluate your existing programs. Addresses such tough questions as: • What is the best role to play in a troubled youth’s life? • How do they tend to view life, God, and anyone who tries to reach them? • How can at-risk youth be reached more effectively? • What is it about at-risk kids that make them so different from other teens? • What motivates them?
So, I began rewriting using a fictional dialogue as framework for the book. The book has made a few people angry, as you can discover by doing a search at Christianity Today (or reading comments at Amazon). But the negative comments have, so far at least, been negligible compared to the affirming ones. I set the book up so that it could be the first of a trilogy.
