This is the major thesis of Bob Perkins' second book, No Banana Splits. What began as a twelve-page White Paper, has already been used as a training tool for youth ministry for over twenty years and has been read by thousands of people.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNow in a completely updated new edition available for the first time in its complete form, Bob has given the book a complete edit and included a deeper theological discussion and significant additional material for this new publication from Brighton Publishing. Bob lays out a theological foundation for his thinking, builds a philosophical outline for his model and gives concrete and practical advise for building a ministry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy adopting the No Banana Splits model you will be free from the exhausting pressure to create the next event\/gimmick\/program, and will be energized to invest your life in the lives of others.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBob began his ministry in the late 1970's as a volunteer leader and immediately rejected the idea that kids would be attracted to the Christian faith by gimmicks, program and events. He instead focused on the model of Jesus and invested in a handful of disciples--kids who were ready to go deeper in their faith and expend themselves for their friends--to have a major impact in a high school. These kids became the foundation for a twenty-two year ministry in Baltimore, Maryland, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, St. Louis, Missouri, and Ontario, Canada. In each place the No Banana Splits model of relational ministry was wildly successful.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe purpose of this book is to change the conversation around youth ministry and move it from an event\/gimmicks\/program centered model to a discipleship ministry where an investment in lifelong discipleship leads to greater and deeper ministry; Where more kids are reached and walk with Christ for their entire lives. It is a model for ministry where we can look back and see the disciples who have gone on to be faithful followers of Christ in their homes, work, churches and communities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile Bob's focus is on youth, the principles in this book will be applicable to any ministry regardless of the age group.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49871538290961,"sku":"CIN1621833429VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50135633232145,"sku":"CIN1621833429G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53351072334097,"sku":"CIN1621833429A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1621833429.jpg?v=1751343168"},{"product_id":"from-morning-til-night-book-bob-perkins-9781732034105","title":"From Morning 'til Night","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50388561789201,"sku":"CIN1732034109VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53187378250001,"sku":"NIN9781732034105","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1732034109.jpg?v=1751312117"},{"product_id":"building-a-vision-for-your-life-book-bob-perkins-9781621831488","title":"Building a Vision for Your Life","description":"Know who you are and be it. This is the central message of Bob Perkins' innovative concepts that will help you set a vision for your life by identifying and developing what he calls your Core Motivator. Are you driven by a need to belong to a team? A desire for relationships? A quest for perfection? An eagerness to care for or to serve others? A talent for creating? A passion for giving? These are the Core Motivators that drive each of us-and the Keys to setting a vision for your life. This book isn't about your talents or gifts, or what you've learned over the course of your life; it is about who you are deep inside. Setting a vision for your life begins when you gain a clear picture of yourself as a one-of-a-kind individual. To do that, you must answer the question: what is your Core Motivator? The principles outlined in this book resonate with people of all ages. It is for all of us because we are all created in the image of God, and we are meant to live life to the fullest. Without a vision for our lives, we either live someone else's vision or we wander aimlessly-and the only thing worse than following someone else's vision for your life is to wander aimlessly  This book is also for those who think that life has nearly passed them by-who think it's too late to find significance in life and be energized by the work they do. It is for all of us-created in the image of God and meant to live life to the fullest. Using examples from the lives of those he has helped, Bob Perkins assists you in identifying the unique person God made you to be. You will learn how to set a STAR for your life and identify the Mountains you will climb on the way. These concepts will set you on the path to a full life based on your Core Motivator-the person you truly are. By building a vision for your life, you will celebrate your uniqueness with the totality of your life.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50944785940753,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50944788201745,"sku":"CIN1621831485VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53015963959569,"sku":"CIN1621831485G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1621831485.jpg?v=1751057568"},{"product_id":"shadow-of-your-wings-book-bob-perkins-9798385065561","title":"The Shadow of Your Wings","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe think we know the David story.
