From the author's preface: "The experimentation that has characterized youth ministry since multitudes of teens have quit the Church in the last few decades has failed. Parish or high school-based youth group efforts that have continuously sprung up only to fold up soon thereafter have not been able to address the religious needs of teenagers in satisfactory or comprehensive ways. ...This book delineating Youth Ministry Theory (YMT) attempts to supply what has been missing from youth ministry...." (This book is a reprint of *Theory of Religious Ministry to Youth: Faith Development and the Christ in Others Retreat* (2005) with a new introductory section.
