Stephen Ingram is the “Steve Jobs of the Youth Ministry world.”  I’m hard pressed to recall anyone with the inventiveness and informed creativity of this young man.  His laboratory has been his own ministry, where the principles of this book were formed, week-in and week-out in the rough-and-tumble reality of dancing with the alligators of church work, where simple answers never work. – Mark DeVries, President of Youth Ministry Architects
