Andy's new website

Here is Andy's form bio: 

Andrew Root is in the Olson Baalson chair as associate professor of youth and family ministry at Luther Seminary (St. Paul, MN). He is the author of The Theological Turn in Youth Ministry (with Kenda Creasy Dean, IVP, 2011), The Promise of Despair: The Way of the Cross as the Way of the Church (Abingdon, 2010), Children of Divorce: The Loss of Family as the Loss of Being (Baker Academic, 2010), Revisiting Relational Youth Ministry: From a Strategy of Influence to a Theology of Incarnation (IVP, 2007) and Relationships Unfiltered: Help for Youth Workers, Volunteers and Parents on Creating Authentic Relationships (Zondervan/YS, 2009). He has worked in congregations, para-church ministries and social service programs. He lives in St. Paul with his wife Kara, two children (Owen and Maisy), and their two dogs (Kirby and Kimmel). When not reading, writing, or teaching Andy spends far too much time watching TV and movies.

Andy has become a new voice in theology and youth ministry, making us rethink what it means to be in relationship with youth.  He has been invited to speak all over the world.  He also loves ju-jubes :)

Andrew has a new website where you can be inspired and challenged by his thoughts and writings.  I encourage everyone to take a look at www.andrewroot.org.  Besides his articles and books, you can also listen to his liveblogs. I promise it will be well worth your time!
