Youth Ministers and Pastors Acclaim for The Whole Youth Worker
"Here is a brass-tacks companion for those who would aspire to being not a master
but a servant, one who is willing to put forth great effort on the young, even though
not all the recipients will be appreciative. Jay Tucker is the opposite of preachy, he is
practical and instructional with down-to-earth language that brings a smile."
--Most Rev. Heyward B. Ewart, PhD, DD, Metropolitan Archbishop, Holy Catholic Church International
"If you want to hear from the heart of a youth worker who struggles to enjoy the Monday-to-Friday part of youth ministry and wants to help you get through it too, then you need to read The Whole Youth Worker."
--Mike Kupferer, Youth Ministry Exchange
"In The Whole Youth Worker, Jay gives us a glimpse at what it's like to be in the trenches--both good and bad. You will read this book and say, 'Been there--it's good to know I'm not alone!'" --Rev. Bill Fisackerly, IV,
Gulf Cove United Methodist Church
