Strack presents good leadership principles for young people, but models poor handling of scripture. In his efforts to "be biblical" he inserts leadership observations and principles into passages that really aren't there, obscuring the meaning of some passages. For example, page 91, in order to illustrate the HALT principle (beware that decisions made when you are Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired tend to be emotional reactions rather than thoughtful responses), Strack takes us to the prodigal son and assumes that anger and hurt were the triggers of the prodigal's rebellion. Give me a break! Similarly, he urges on us that Martha's anger and tiredness propelled her complaints against Mary, and that Jesus was trying to get Martha to rest (do one thing), but overlooks that the passage points to exactly what that one thing was supposed to be: listening to Jesus.
I would caution any adult using this book with young people. Be overt in correcting the author's "zeal without knowledge". As I said and want to emphasize, his leadership principles are sound. However, young people need better models of accurately dealing with the Word.
Older review:
I like the inclusion of journaling spaces in this book. The suggestion to copy a key verse, inserting my own name as appropriate brought me face to face with issues of faith.
Preparing to help with our middle school student spiritual leadership team retreat. We're all reading this book together.
