The Quiet Revolution
Is the ‘quiet time’ a lost art among youth leaders and young people alike? Dave Wright explores why
teaching young people how to nurture their relationship with God on a consistent basis is the key to lifelong discipleship.
Eating Disorders
Every youth leader knows teenagers who have developed a complex relationship with food. But knowing how best to tackle it can be challenging. Emma Scrivener describes some of her own experiences of this
‘good girl’ addiction, and provides helpful insights for youth workers going through this with their young people.
Youth Ministry Resource Supplement
A close to comprehensive listing of youth ministry resources in eight categories: Bibles, devotional aids,
interactive resources, curriculum, ideas, theory and practice, web-based resources and youth fiction.

On a cold blustery summer’s afternoon Rebecca Hamer and I found ourselves sitting in
Pret. Unfortunately, we were sitting in different ones. Unbeknownst to me there are in fact three
Prets between the station and our office, and I had failed to communicate the exact location of the
coffee shop of choice. Third time lucky – after an unfortunate incident involving a poor
