Part 2 introduces Attachment Relationship Ministry (ARM), a lens distinguishing four primary adolescent relational styles depending on how secure or insecure teens are with God and parents.

What would it look like if an Avenger turned up to help in youth work? Perhaps it would breathe a fresh sense of purpose. Maybe the primary response would be relief that backup had arrived. They would certainly pull a crowd for a few weeks at least. Looking for a superhero might be a good idea. But there is a better one. It’s called the church. Boring? Irrelevant? All dressed up but nowhere to go? Looking Good Naked strips off the ill-fitting outfits and recovers a biblical theology of the church as the body of Christ, drawing on the narratives of youth work and ministry. Written for the student of youth ministry, full-timer, part-timer or extra-timer, it is an engaging, practical, and deep book, seeking to renew our confidence in who we are in light of whose we are, so we can better engage with young people.

Una guía completa para enseñar la formación cristiana Necesitamos revitalizar la tarea de enseñarles a las próximas generaciones, pero no con el enfoque estándar de "la forma en que lo hemos hecho siempre" o con la imprudencia pragmática de "cualquier forma es suficiente" que no alcanza la meta de ayudar a los estudiantes a crecer hacia la madurez. La próxima generación necesita maestros comprometidos, maestros sabios, maestros alegres y maestros bien estudiados. Los jóvenes deben involucrarse profundamente de manera relevante más allá de las enseñanzas elementales. Necesitan una fe "repleta de pensamiento" basada en la Escritura, fortalecida por el Espíritu, y conectada con las realidades cotidianas para enfrentar los desafíos contemporáneos, las tensiones históricas y las preguntas difíciles. Este texto defiende la causa y los objetivos de la enseñanza cristiana en el ministerio para los jóvenes y ofrece una introducción a la enseñanza en todo tipo de contextos ministeriales.
"In Integrating the New Science of Love and a Spirituality of Peace, the contributors explore the intersection between the science of attachment theory and the vision of Anabaptism. What emerges is a deeper sense of what it means to be human and a hope for a different tomorow, inspired by the kingdom of God as preached by Jesus of Nazareth."
