Looking Good Naked: Youth Work and the Body of Christ

What would it look like if an Avenger turned up to help in youth work? Perhaps it would breathe a fresh sense of purpose. Maybe the primary response would be relief that backup had arrived. They would certainly pull a crowd for a few weeks at least. Looking for a superhero might be a good idea. But there is a better one. Its called the church. Boring? Irrelevant? All dressed up but nowhere to go? Looking Good Naked strips off the ill-fitting outfits and recovers a biblical theology of the church as the body of Christ drawing on the narratives of youth work and ministry. Written for the student of youth ministry full-timer part-timer or extra-timer it is an engaging practical and deep book seeking to renew our confidence in who we are in light of whose we are so we can better engage with young people.
