This book reveals one of the most vital, yet under-researched, areas of youth ministry: how Christians ‘accompany’ young people in their spiritual quest or journey. Using the ‘Road to Emmaus’ narrative and the Parable of the Prodigal Son, the authors show how we can ‘be alongside’ young people and help them to develop their own confidence and maturity in their faith.
