Liberty University Press released EQUIP, a guide for youth pastors to help build student leaders through biblical, relevant, and practical lessons.

Lynchburg, VA (PRWEB) April 01, 2013

Authors Nathan Wilder and Jon Kragel, experienced youth ministers in the central Florida area, wrote EQUIP to help pastors learn how to mentor young adults and lead youth into positions as strong Christian leaders.

Throughout the book, twelve sections address key principles, lessons, and aspects of student leadership, such as: the faithfulness of God, seeking a relationship with God, building loving relationships, and developing leader-attributes. When the curriculum is completed, students will be challenged to hold on to this information and use it as a tool to mentor others. The idea behind this book is simple: disciple students with resources they get to keep so that they can turn around and disciple others.

This book is being used by churches around the U.S. to help develop their student ministries. Equip is available now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
