How we handle money and possessions is central to our spiritual health and our emotional well being. This book does not set out to provide all the answers but it aims to help us ask some of the important questions about what it means to be a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ around money and possessions. Nor is this a matter for just our personal discipleship. We need to be praying for our nation, especially for Christians who work as economists and bankers and politicians. We need to pray that what emerges from this turbulent period is a more gentle form of wealth creation, less aggressive, less driven by profit, more underpinned by spiritual, social and moral values.

This book, written by experts in the field, explores the role of the youth minister by looking at a range of metaphors, such as 'flawed hero', 'visionary architect', 'party planner' and 'guardian of souls'.

Each chapter takes one of these metaphors as a central theme, offers biblical and/or theological reflection on this aspect of youth ministry, explains the relevant theory and the necessary skills, uses real-life stories from practitioners to bring the metaphor to life, summarizes the key principles and values, gives questions for reflection and makes suggestions for further reading.

Prayer is the key to knowing and communicating with God, unlocking a lifelong faith and being the primary bedrock of Christian faith.

Signal Fire explores the myriad of different ways in which we can connect with God, both together and alone. This handy guide provides opportunities to try out different aspects of prayer, equipping young people with a prayer life of their own.

Prayer is a refuge in times when everything else is failing; it's a compass when we're lost and a firework when we're joy-struck. Prayer is the subject of a thousand distinct metaphors, and they're all both true and insufficient. Why? Because prayer is direct connection with God, and the pathway to making sense of life itself.

Signal Fire encourages young people to develop a life of prayer and connection with God and invest in this key practice of lasting faith. Martin Saunders, Director of Innovation at Youthscape, writes an accessible and practical book for teenagers with some points for reflection and discussion at the end of each chapter.

This book can be used alone by a young person or used by youth workers to work through with a group.
