Facing the teen apathy challenge

As a youth pastor and organizer of many teen events, I sympathize with the plight of youth ministers. How do you inspire without alienating? Inspire The Fire by Ron Luce goes beyond the usual motivational tips of similar books and deals with the heart of the problem ... teen apathy is a natural result of parent and church apathy. Once a week religion is not born-again religion. In the book, Luce says, "Radical abandonment will free us to communicate more effectively...who you are will...bleed through." He says in another place, "Our teens need the real thing - an encounter with the living God. Once you give them the real thing they will never want the fake stuff again." I recommend this book to anyone who wants to help teens get truly saved. Patrick McIntyre, author of The Graham Formula

Excellent book offering a way to know God in a real sense!

I've read reviews where people didn't think too highly of Ron..booo..I know I went to an Acquire the Fire in 1998, and got saved. I know that I've been challenged, motivated, and pushed out of my comfort zone by Ron, and the Interns at Teen Mania. I've met Ron several times, and I know him better than just a "profiteer". I think some people think low of him because they get convicted when he preaches the truth the way it is, and not sugar coated. I've been on a Missions Trip with Teen Mania, and am going this summer to shake the nations of the world with Teen Mania Ministries. THIS man really knows how to Inspire the Fire, and after reading the book, I learned almost all that I know (educationally) about Youth Ministry. Whatever else I know comes from three sources...My Youth Pastor, My experience, and different teachings from Ron.
