ABOUT THE author

Francis Edward Clark (1851-1927) founded the Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor in 1881. It grew worldwide into an influential student evangelism movement with more than 3,500,000 members at the height of its influence in the early 1900s. His book, Christ and the Young People (written in 1916) was one of the first youth ministry books ever written.

ABOUT THE BOOK

“Originally authored by Francis Clark a hundred years ago, Ashley Denton has overhauled the first writing, taking care to update and revise the text to make it more readable for a modern audience of young people. The book will be especially helpful to youth pastors, student ministry leaders and parents of young people.” –Robert E. Coleman (Author of Master Plan of Evangelism)

“Francis Clark believed that Jesus was the embodiment of everything that young people longed for. The challenge of every generation is simply to give young people an accurate picture of Jesus Christ. Clark believed that if young people could just see the winsome personality of Christ, they would naturally be drawn to him, like a magnet is to metal.” –Ashley Denton
