Publisher's summary

Winner of the 2019 Christian Book Award for best ministry resource, Alongside is a much-needed resource for both parents and those in youth ministry. Narrated by the author in a warm, conversational voice, the audiobook captures Drew Hill’s personal heart for youth ministry as he unpacks the challenges teenagers face and how we can share the gospel at this crucial age.

Full of practical insight and biblical knowledge, Alongside is an invitation to love teenagers well with the hope of the gospel. Also included in the audiobook are spoken prayers narrated by Drew Hill’s friends - parents and youth ministry workers who have walked alongside teenagers themselves. The audiobook features a song written and performed by Andy Gullahorn called “Teenagers”.

Our teenage friends are full of questions and longings. They’re trying to figure out who they are, where they belong, and if they matter during this pivotal time of development - all while facing new realities of loneliness and isolation despite their social media followers.

Teenagers want to be chased, and Alongside brings scripture to life and helps parents and those in youth ministry practically connect the life of Jesus to the lives of their adolescent children and friends.

Through Scripture and captivating personal stories from years of experience working in youth ministry, Hill pulls back the curtain and invites listeners to step into the unfiltered world of teenagers.

Alongside offers practical application and biblical truths to highlight the complexities of relational youth ministry, address the needs real teenagers encounter in their daily lives, and engage their hearts rather than just their behavior. Hill explores what it looks like to not only share the love of Jesus with our teenage friends but to share our very lives with them, as well.

Alongside in the grace and mercy of Our Lord Jesus Christ!

This book will be often listened to as I am starting my journey with my soon to be teenager. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your wisdom and experience with teenagers to be used as a light at the end of the tunnel. A sweet reminder to cling to Jesus as we walk alongside our young people at home, our church and our community. This book touched my heart ❤️

Much needed!

I didn't think a youth ministry book would make me laugh, cry and give me hope as much as this one did. This is a much needed book for anyone who loves teens.

Worthy of the chase

This book is one of the most thought provoking books I have read on this topic. I love the way that the word of God is woven through the message and story. I love the vulnerability of the author. It’s especially powerful when you realize he is also the person reading the book. Thank you Drew for your insights and thoughts. One part that has stayed with me throughout the book is the idea of the chase. Often times that idea is meant with being a needy: don’t chase after a guy/girl, if they’re meant to be in your life you don’t have to chase them...these ideas and more, but the Lord chased me down and continues to peruse me, so why shouldn’t I do the same with those in my life. They are no less worthy of the chase. It’s such a powerful thought! Thanks again.
