Negative Positive
Title: Worth the perspective
Review: It can be easy for today's youth to see the ministry models of their parents and grandparents as stuffy and ineffective. But take a look at the era depicted by Bruce McIver. Simple students started asking God how they could join Him in His work of loving the world and their complete surrender to Him led to a movement that shaped much of today's American (and now beyond) Christianity.The book does have a Baptist-specific tone and the revival model is certainly a far cry from most youth oriented ministries today. Also, in a less than polished style, it jumps around a bit and can get a little boring with the details of who served on what committeeHowever, the overall spirit of the students involved and the faithfulness they exemplified to the end of their lives is refreshing and challenging. I highly recommend it, both to young students and to their leaders... Oh God, would you see fit to use us in similar ways!
