ENGAGE YOUR PRETEENS BEFORE THEY CHECK OUT.

Preteens hold unprecedented influence on culture, more so than at any other time in history. Yet anyone who has spent time in children's or middle school ministry has stories of preteens who sit against the back wall, roll their eyes at whatever leaders say, and barely tolerate the hour. Or of some who just don't show up at all.

Today's preteens are getting lost in transition as they shift from childhood to adolescence, a unique and challenging time when they are not quite one thing and not quite the other.

In Caught In Between, Dan Scott draws from his experiences in both education and ministry, adds in the latest research findings, sums up conversations every ministry leader is having, and crafts a comprehensive plan to engage your preteens to ensure they have what they need to build an authentic faith.
