    Youth Ministers and Pastors Acclaim for The Whole Youth Worker

    "Here is a brass-tacks companion for those who would aspire to being not a master
    but a servant, one who is willing to put forth great effort on the young, even though
    not all the recipients will be appreciative. Jay Tucker is the opposite of preachy, he is
    practical and instructional with down-to-earth language that brings a smile."
    --Most Rev. Heyward B. Ewart, PhD, DD, Metropolitan Archbishop, Holy Catholic Church International


    "If you want to hear from the heart of a youth worker who struggles to enjoy the Monday-to-Friday part of youth ministry and wants to help you get through it too, then you need to read The Whole Youth Worker."
    --Mike Kupferer, Youth Ministry Exchange


    "In The Whole Youth Worker, Jay gives us a glimpse at what it's like to be in the trenches--both good and bad. You will read this book and say, 'Been there--it's good to know I'm not alone!'" --Rev. Bill Fisackerly, IV,
    Gulf Cove United Methodist Church

    Author Biography

    Jay Tucker is a lifelong South Floridian. Growing up in Naples, FL gave Jay year-long sun and the foundation
    for the desire to stay active. This desire pointed him in the direction of education, where he holds a Bachelor
    Degree from Florida Gulf Coast University. Jay has been married to his wife Kimberly, since 1995. Together
    they have two beautiful children, Sarah Kay and William Monroe II. After two years in the classroom and a 9/11 shortened stint
    as a national educational/motivational speaker, Jay finally answered God's call in his life to enter fulltime
    youth ministry.

    That career has spanned 15+ years as both a volunteer and a fulltime salaried employee in the church.
    Over the years, Jay has attended many youth worker conferences and events. It was during one of those
    events when Jay made a sobering discovery: a large percentage of his fellow youth workers were extremely
    overweight. This began a journey into how to help himself and other youth workers achieve and maintain
    the optimal level of health that will allow us to minister at our full potential.
