Andrew Root’s new book, “Relationships Unfiltered”

Last week I shared a quote from Andrew Root’s book “Revisiting Relational Youth Ministry” (RRYM) and added, “for my money [it] is the absolute best youth ministry book out there right now.”
Good news: He’s got a new book coming out on September 1 titled Relationships Unfiltered: Help for Youth Workers, Volunteers, and Parents on Creating Authentic Relationships. It looks to me like Relationships Unfiltered will be two things: 1) a more accessible version of RRYM, which leaned heavily on the theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer; and 2) an answer to the question that all youth ministry leaders want: “How!?” (Root does answer the “how” question in RRYM, but Relationships Unfiltered seems aimed solely at that point).
If you’ve never read any of Root’s material, here’s a quick YouTube video of him explaining the “third way” (and if you’re hungry for more after that, the full interview is available here):
Dr. Root has graciously agreed to an interview on this blog, which I’ll post as soon as I finish the book and write some questions. If YOU have any questions for him, leave a comment and I’ll see what I can do!
