What Youth Ministry Leaders say about

Changing Lives:

"Changing Lives is a lens through which we can transform our ministry to, with, for, and especially by youth. Lisa brings the concept of learning communities to life within a comprehensive approach to youth ministry, while providing specific and practical suggestions for developing creative prayer, catechetical, and service experiences."
--- Robert J. McCarty, Executive Director, National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry.

"Educator Lisa-Marie Calderone-Stewart points to the kinds of relationships that open teens to transformation by God and the core experiences that shape them as disciples. With winsome humor and memorable stories from her experience and research, she offers youth ministers plenty to help them reflect on the key components and strategies of their ministries. This book of practical wisdom may change the lives of adults as well."
--- Carol Lytch, Lilly Endowment Programs for Strengthening Congregational Leadership, The Fund for Theological Education.
