This book explores models for youth ministry from the life and ministry of Christ. This area of study has become fossilised because youth workers rely too heavily on the notion of 'incarnational' or 'relational' youth ministry. This leads them to believe that they must spend huge amounts of time with young people in order to 'earn the right' to share the gospel with them. The author argues that this foundation for youth ministry is inadequate and impractical and that it is not how Jesus himself operated. He proposes a broader Christology as a foundation for youth ministry today. Each chapter includes study questions for individuals or groups.

Beginning with the toughest question of all—''Why''—God of the Valley gives a personal account of the questioning journey through grief. Steve Griffiths draws from the experience of facing the loss of his wife from brain cancer at the age of thirty-six, as well as from his pastoral work as a church minister with bereaved families. Writing not as a trained counselor but as someone who has found himself strengthened and comforted by God even in the darkest times, Griffiths weaves the Bible passages that have come to mean the most to him into his personal story.

Steve Griffiths' 'Weathereye: Selected Poems' pulls together the best of seven collections over forty years. There are poems of childhood and family and love poems, poems of being alive and conscious - and perhaps above all a continuing quest to understand what's going on 'among scatterings of lived material', exploring the nature and fragilities of community against a backdrop of the deep changes that are shaping us and challenging our beliefs. There are veins of loss, commemoration, resistance to injustice, and self-questioning; living landscape and interrogated history. Griffiths' capacity to celebrate and lament develops and deepens as he calls increasingly on a lightness of touch and a mischievous glint.

When it comes to discipling Generation Y - those born between 1980 and 2000 - we need to acknowledge that they speak a different cultural language from the rest of us. This is a generation on a passionate quest to find their identity amid a barrage of online information and entertainment, a generation at ease with an astonishing level of global connectivity. Even so, the process of discipleship remains essentially what it always was. Ultimately, we want our young people to be happy and fulfilled. We seek to introduce them into a way of living that takes seriously Jesus Christ as 'the way, the truth and the life' (John 14:6). This book shows how Revelation offers one of the clearest biblical explorations of Kingdom values at work in highly challenging circumstances. Youth ministry trainer Steve Griffiths unpacks its message with an invaluable mix of theory, Bible study and practical application to show how we can use the themes of this often misunderstood book of the Bible to help us grow young people into mature followers of Jesus, ready to work and witness in a fast-changing world.

John Owen was one of the great Puritans of the 17th Century whose writings and theology have gone through a welcome resurgence of interest in the last fifty years. His writings are a constant reference source for spiritual truths and practical insights. Dr Steve Griffiths considers how Owen dealt with the problem of Sin, which as with all reformed theologians was a fundamental concern in his thinking. Owen's treatment of sin does not stand in isolation; it can only be considered in the light of his doctrine of God and what it means for man to reflect that image.
