Better Safe than Sued: Keeping Your Students and Ministry Alive Paperback – July 13, 2008

Working with adolescents can be a great joy, but there are a lot of risks that all too many churches and their youth leadership teams fail to consider. The author uses examples from his own ministry to demonstrate how lack of planning for the worst case can lead to serious problems and even tragic situations.Even the most well-intentioned leaders need to read this book to be sure that they avoid turning fun-filled events into tragedies. Highly recommended for all staff.

If you're a youth pastor and you want to avoid getting in trouble, this is your operating/instruction manual. Learn from the mistakes of others rather than make them yourself!If you're a lead or senior pastor, you need to read this so you can help your younger staff ministry leaders avoid situations that could torpedo your church, or get people hurt or killed.

Good, thoughtful read. You are left with a mixture of fear and awe as you hear the stories that have been compiled.

My oldest daughter - in college - seems very well pleased with this selection... like the professor gave her a choice, right?

It gives youth leader a lot to think about regardless of how much safety they imply to their respective youth groups. A great read for youth leaders at any level.

Came with a disk but disk was scratched. Good price and great book otherwise.

This is a great book to help Youth Pastors and students training to be youth Pastors! It brings practical issues into play that might be overlooked and could potentially cause horrific consequences.Great

Wonderful and thorough. Every person working with youth should have this book.
