OMG: A Youth Ministry Handbook | Kenda Creasy Dean
14 posts | 1 read
"Most contemporary young people operate far enough from Moses moral compass that it never occurs to them that OMG (oh my God, in teenspeak) has anything to do with the Ten Commandments, much less that it breaks one of them. After all, the phrase is a nearly ubiquitous adolescent throw-away line...Yet Christians should hear the phrase oh my God differently. Youth ministers, parents, teachersanyone who has ever loved an adolescentknow that OMG can be a prayer, a plea, a petition, a note of praise, or an unbidden entreaty that escapes our lips as we seek Christ for the young people we love." from the book Using six lens the authors detail current practices and tease out underlying questions as youth ministry becomes more self-consciously aligned with practical theology. Contributors include: Kenda Creasy Dean, Mike Carotta, Roland Martinson, Rodger Nishioka, Don Richter, Dayle Gillespie Rounds, and Amy Scott Vaughn.

I saved this one from the tornado damage pile just because it's ridiculous... I'm not sure why Sportin' Ladies: Confessions of the Bimbos by Herb Michelson is not in the Litsy database, but the inside jacket of this gem from 1975 promises the chummy and intimate confessions of a dazzling group of sports groupies.

My mom claims never to have seen it before, so that means this came from my late grandma's collection, making it 100x funnier. 😂

balletbookworm Omg, it's like the baller wives of the 70s 😂😂 7y
Reggie I used to watch The E True Hollywood Stories of the Rat Pack and Elvis and other celebs from that era, and there's this woman who was in at least her 60's saying how she had slept with some of them. And how one time she was baking a cake when Elvis came into the kitchen and more than the cake got done. Soooo I guess some of us collect autographs and some of us collect sexual experiences lol. Idk. Lolol 7y
sprainedbrain @Clwojick @RestlessFickleBookSlut @LuLeeBelle @TheKidUpstairs @CrinolineDream @balletbookworm I'm not sure if your local library will have Herb's masterwork, but I could certainly send it on to you when I'm finished with it. I'd hate for anyone to miss out. 🤣🤣 (edited) 7y
sprainedbrain @Reggie I guess we all need to have ambition and goals for our lives. 😂 7y
TheKidUpstairs @sprainedbrain shockingly, you're right, and my library doesn't have a copy! But I would love to read it when you're done 😀 7y

Somehow my tiny gorgeous baby just turned into an amazing eight year old. How did that happen. Best thing, of course, is that she loves reading together and I'm progressively introducing her to more of my favourite books. #raisingreaders

I just checked in on Goodreads to see my progress on my goal. It's not even the end of February, and I'm a quarter of the way there! I have to say it's #thankstoLitsy. The positivity, support, and mutual interest of this amazing community keeps me motivated to read #allthebooks. So, thank you! #bookpeoplearethebest

Reviewsbylola Great job! 8y
emilyhaldi That's great!! I agree- I am reading way more than I ever have in years past thanks to Litsy! 8y

I love it when I find the magnet board reflecting my current mood. #librarylife

Also, a thought I've had lately...who out there loves So-So/Pan/Bail reviews as much or more than Picks, even when it's a favorite book? Am I just a masochist?

WhatDeeReads I don't like that. I feel the need to defend my loves. They're my babies; don't hurt their feelings! 8y
LindsayReads @Lucky_Ladee I can appreciate that! I still can be defensive for sure, but I find I'm more and more curious lately to hear the reasons behind people's qualms. 🤓 8y
SuperPunkNinja I don't know that I like them more but they can be hella funny. 8y
