“I know thousands of young, emerging leaders in today’s contemporary church world. But Rodney Wardwell is honestly one of God’s finest. I commend his book “GREEN” to youth leaders who want their lives to be authentic examples of balanced, healthy, and thriving Christ-like leadership to today’s pivotal youth culture. Even more strategically, I commend Rodney himself to you as an author worth listening to. The only thing “louder” than his message is his life.”
- Jeanne Mayo, President and Founder of Youth Leader's Coach and Director of Oxygen Student Ministries in Atlanta, GA
"If you want to understand the challenges and rewards of youth ministry and understand some practical examples of what it's like, then "GREEN" is the book for you. I'm sure it will broaden your perspective and will inspire, strengthen, and encourage anyone in youth ministry, especially those new to the trenches."
- Dan Hunter, Pastor of Living Church, Mansfield, TX
"Rodney Wardwell is a great youth pastor with a real passion to reach students and train leaders for the kingdom of God. I recommend him and this book to any youth leader that wants to grow."
- Kevin Moore, Former Youth Pastor at 180 and Current Youth Pastor at The Cross in Vasalia, CA
"I believe that "GREEN" will be a great reminder for veterans of youth ministry and a resourceful toolbox of the basics of youth ministry for new youth workers. The great stories of actual students and situations helped to keep the information from being theory. I know that God has done great things in and through Rodney and his ministry and I believe that if you catch what is being said in this book that you will be able to develop life-long followers of Christ."
- Darin Stroud, Kansas District Ministries Youth Director
"In "GREEN", Rodney has combined the practical with the inspiring. Born out of the desire to encourage youth workers he has successfully conveyed his heart, knowledge, and experience to the written page. I believe this book is a great tool for those looking to grow their ministry as well as themselves."
- Doug Everaard, Oklahoma District Youth Ministries Director
"What you must realize is that in a time of unprecedented opposition to young people today in America, we need passionate and anointed youth ministers on the front-line. What you find in "GREEN" is an incredible dedication to not only the nuts and bolts of youth ministry, but to the emotional and spiritual side of youth ministry as well. Anyone can paint you this unrealistic picture of ministering to youth, but at the end of the day, Rodney has painted a real perspective of what it means to minister 24/7 with the most connected generation ever - but yet the lonliest. Your youth ministry will not be the same."
- Ron Rhoads, Youth Evangelist and Founder of Ron Rhoads Ministries
