And I believe the SBC and other bureacracies will be nudged along toward change via the new world in which we live. I started a website a few years ago intentionally because I knew youth and college students would soon be living there. As Sweet noted in Soul Tsunami, I don't carry a business card, I have a website :-). Matt: to answer your question, yes I do believe bloggers made an impact.

I'll check on the dates and get back to you. I have actually come to the conclusion that most of our so called "youth minitries" are not being blessed by God (and the statistics show us they are not being blessed) because we are not doing "youth ministry" in a way that honors God and His view of the family. Thats why I like your paper on it. I'll look forward to the other books as they come out. My pastor and I put together a "State of the family" address to our congregation back in May. I basically laid out a biblical model of training up children in the ways of God. It was really neat to see fathers coming up afterward: "you mean I'm supposed to be leading my family spiritually and training my own kids? Wow...what an interesting concept!" LOL Joy, Cliff Dr Reid,

Raising the Bar is actually a book I wrote basically challenging the stereotypical view of youth as kids versus as young adults preparing for adulthood. You can read a Reader's Digest version of it at my website: http://alvinreid.com/new/author/raising-the-bar.php or look at the book under books. I am writing a couple of follow up books. One will be out this winter called Join the Movement, which looks at how God ha used college students and youth in great awakenings. Youth in the Bible will follow that one. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the kind words on Raising the Bar. It has caused a stir in the youth ministry circles (we need one). I will be speaking at your state's pastors conference in November, so let's get together and visit. Hey Cliff:

I'll look forward to reading you. Cliff Easter; C/O of 1995. We talked quite a few times after I moved from NC to IL. You told me about a friend at O'Fallon. Don't know if you remember me or not; but I am still handing out copies of "Raising the Bar" to all my no theology teaching youth pastor friends! Glad you are here! Joy, Cliff Dr. Reid,
