"Don't Drop the Kid!: Miracles and Messes of a 20-Year-Old Youth Pastor" is the creation of published author Wesley Criswell, a devoted family man who lives with a loving wife, three nieces, and one son in Alabama.

"Well, I don't have them!
"You've heard the saying 'God works in mysterious ways.' You have even seen this principle in action with a casual glance at the fishermen, tax collectors, tent-makers, shepherds, and all-around amateurs God whips into shape with His perfect wisdom for His purpose in the Bible. I invite you to discover the outpouring of God's manifold grace for delivering His gospel to teenagers through the 'dysfunctional group of factory rejects' (Chuck Owen) He used for a period of time at a small church in Columbiana, Alabama.
"This collection of stories and lessons learned by the everyday bivocational servants of Jesus in a small town gives a gritty, down-to-earth look at nonprofessionals ministering to teenagers with little more than a passion for Jesus and a willing heart. Whether you are preparing a Wednesday night message while working on your doctorate or working on your truck, you are sure to be enriched by the extraordinary normalcy of how God works through regular people."
