| Summary: Why we use Group Magazine |
| Reviewed by: Brit Windel (Longmont, CO) |
Review:
I have personally used Group Publishing Magazine in my life and ministry for about 5 years now. The quality of articles ranging from personal spiritual health and devotionals to great resources and interviews from veteran youth workers instills this sense of encouragement that I have not found in any other Christian Magazine company.
The resources range from 'quick and easy games' to leadership training to just how to get along with your senior pastor.
I recommend this Magazine to anyone who works with youth, whether pastor or leader, you will find encouragement for your own soul as well as ideas to foster growth in any ministry. |

Review:
I tried Group out about a year ago and I immediately fell in love with it.
I really like the articles that it has, they're relevant and very helpful, but my favorite part of Group is the advertising. I know that may be weird of me, but I look forward to getting my next issue to see what new products are being put out for youth ministry. I check out tons of different youth ministry websites, but this magazine has opened me up to a lot more ministry tools and many conferences I have never heard of before. For me, Group magazine is worth it just for the ads, but the content is the best too! |

I've been using Group Magazine for about 7 years now. The diverse articles are not only extremely helpful in my endeavor as a youth worker, but also extremely challenging. It stretches me to try new things and experience new things. Not only are the articles helpful, but the ads are great at pointing to other useful resources to help you personally and professionally. If I had enough money, I would get a yearly subscription for my entire volunteer staff! |

Sometimes it's nice to be reminded that there are other people out there as crazy as you. Group magazine does a great job of that. It gives me glimpses into others' ministry, pools our ideas and reminds me that even though - yes, I sometimes feel crazy - there are others like me and that makes me feel a little less so. I thank God for my subscription. |

Life is busy, time keeps ticking away, responsibilities keep us moving. With not a lot of spare time in ministry, Group magazine is a great tool to get encouragement, resources, ideas, and laughs. It is a must for every youth pastor.` |

PROS: I love Group magazine! I always find at least one or two great ideas to use. There's usually a great interview with a YM veteran and the light-hearted stuff just makes me laugh and lets me know I'm not alone in this crazy world of Youth Ministry.
CONS: Sometimes it feels like it's a big advertisement for Group/SYM materials; but hey, their stuff is usually pretty good, so I don't mind. (They also recommend resources that are not Group/SYM, so I think they're pretty unbiased).
OVERALL: Great value! Worth the investment.
