ReviewsDr. Amy Jacober makes a significant scholarly contribution as she provides a keen analysis of adolescent faith formation through a practical theological lens. While many speak of practical theology, Dr. Jacober's book lays out one of the most comprehensive introductions to this perspective in the field of youth ministry education. Thoroughly researched, deeply reflective, intentionally contextual and eminently usable, The Adolescent Journey may soon become the seminal work on examining youth ministry and practical theology., Anyone concerned with developing a theology to underpin youth ministry will profit from this stimulating book.

SynopsisDrawing on the insights of sociology and psychology, Amy Jacober reveals youth ministry to be an act of practical theology, and helps youth pastors find their footing as they guide young people through adolescence., Adolescence is a time of individuation--children are slowly finding their identity as adults, separate from their parents and other adult influences. Such a critical time of psychological development is complicated by cultural influences that shape their expectations of adulthood and color how they relate to other people and even God. The task of the youth pastor becomes to help adolescents navigate this often treacherous journey, helping young people reconcile their experience of childhood to the reality of their impending adulthood, and rooting and establishing them in a faith that can sustain them through their adult journey as well. Drawing on the insights of sociology and psychology, Jacober reveals youth ministry to be an act of practical theology, and helps youth pastors find their footing as they guide young people through adolescence., Our programs are ordered, our events constructed, with an eye toward what is current to mass youth culture. In the process, far too often we overlook the fact that there is a journey taking place. A child is becoming an adult. A human being is struggling to apprehend the divine. A person is seeking answers to profound questions: Who am I? Do I matter? Where do I belong? Amy Jacober proposes a bilingual conversation, core to the concept of practical theology, between the theological and psychosocial context of adolescence. Youth ministers must consider the story of the student, the ministry and God's epic narrative, in which individuals and communities alike have a role. Drawing from the work of significant theologians and ethicists, as well as current research in adolescent development, Jacober presents an often inspiring view of youth ministry as participation in God's reconciling work among adolescents.
