Do you ever wonder if what you are doing is really making a difference? Have you ever thought about how Jesus would lead a youth ministry today? Then the "Be-With Factor" is right for you. "The Be-With Factor" is a powerful, practical, and sustainable mentoring approach. It's patterned after Jesus' example of "being with" his disciples in a variety of real-life settings. It's not about another program, but about doing life with students. Your faith shown in everyday situations can transform their lives - an impact that begins with one student and has the potential to reach a whole generation of Christ-followers. It not only works, it's Jesus' way. Set forth in careful detail by two veteran leaders, this isn't a ministry add-on, it's the very heart of youth ministry. Filled with true-life illustrations, this groundbreaking book and its counterpart, "The Be-With Factor Student Guide", point the way to lasting spiritual transformation that comes through intentional mentoring relationships. "Doing life with students is the easiest way I know to share Jesus with them. "The Be-With Factor" is just the encouragement and help you will need.";- Doug Fields, pastor to students, Saddleback Church; president, Simply Youth Ministries. "Being-with is a fundamental element for building an effective student ministry." - Lynn Ziegenfuss, director, National Network of Youth Ministries.
