Mission Possible: One Man's Story of Learning to Live with, Love and Lead Teens

Mission Possible is designed for Christian parents, teachers, youth workers or anyone interested in learning more about working with teens. Topics include the importance of and methods of listening, encouraging, having a sense of humor (a merry heart), modeling Christ, disciplining, and challenging teens to grow. There is also a separate chapter relating to the early adolescent (middle school teen). The author shares his own struggles as a teen and how God used those times to prepare him for a lifetime of ministry to the age group of 12-20 and beyond. He was a public middle school teacher, high school teacher, high school administrator, youth pastor, and spiritual life director over a period of 50+ years, and it is from these experiences that this book was born.
