About this listen
Winner of the 2019 Christian Book Award for best ministry resource, Alongside is a much-needed resource for both parents and those in youth ministry. Narrated by the author in a warm, conversational voice, the audiobook captures Drew Hill’s personal heart for youth ministry as he unpacks the challenges teenagers face and how we can share the gospel at this crucial age.
Full of practical insight and biblical knowledge, Alongside is an invitation to love teenagers well with the hope of the gospel. Also included in the audiobook are spoken prayers narrated by Drew Hill’s friends - parents and youth ministry workers who have walked alongside teenagers themselves. The audiobook features a song written and performed by Andy Gullahorn called “Teenagers”.
Our teenage friends are full of questions and longings. They’re trying to figure out who they are, where they belong, and if they matter during this pivotal time of development - all while facing new realities of loneliness and isolation despite their social media followers.
Teenagers want to be chased, and Alongside brings scripture to life and helps parents and those in youth ministry practically connect the life of Jesus to the lives of their adolescent children and friends.
Through Scripture and captivating personal stories from years of experience working in youth ministry, Hill pulls back the curtain and invites listeners to step into the unfiltered world of teenagers.
Alongside offers practical application and biblical truths to highlight the complexities of relational youth ministry, address the needs real teenagers encounter in their daily lives, and engage their hearts rather than just their behavior. Hill explores what it looks like to not only share the love of Jesus with our teenage friends but to share our very lives with them, as well.

In The Meaning of Marriage, Timothy Keller, pastor of New York's Redeemer Presbyterian Church and bestselling author of The Reason for God, uses the scriptures as his guide to show readers what God's call to marriage is, and why this is such a powerful call.

Within this audiobook, you’ll find a fascinating road map to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world.

Story
Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. While both men and women deserve both love and respect, in the midst of conflict the driving need for a woman is love and the driving need for a man is respect. When either of these needs isn’t met, things get crazy. Based on over three decades of counseling, as well as scientific and biblical research, Love and Respect is for anyone.

Story
If God is holy, then he can’t sin. If God can’t sin, then he can’t sin against you. If he can’t sin against you, shouldn’t that make him the most trustworthy being there is? Best-selling author Jackie Hill Perry, in her much anticipated follow-up to Gay Girl, Good God, helps us find the reason we don’t trust God - we misunderstand his holiness. In Holier Than Thou, Jackie walks us through Scripture, shaking the dust off of “holy” as we’ve come to know it and revealing it for what it really is: good news.

Forgiving anyone in a meaningful way is one of the hardest things a person has to do. If you do not, resentment and vengeance begin to consume you. It is nearly impossible to move past transgression without forgiveness, but few people have the resources and the tools to forgive others fully and move on with their lives.

It's tough when your gifts and passions are stuck in holding patterns of insecurity, shame, and comparison. But the truth is, every experience of your life has prepared you to live out your God-given purpose in this exact moment. The world is hurting and our lives are waiting, we don't have time stay stuck--we've got to make a move. You Are the Girl for the Job is not an empty catchphrase. It's the straight-up truth God has proclaimed over your life from the beginning. It's not a statement about your capacity, but rather about His.

Worthy of the chase
This book is one of the most thought provoking books I have read on this topic. I love the way that the word of God is woven through the message and story. I love the vulnerability of the author. It’s especially powerful when you realize he is also the person reading the book. Thank you Drew for your insights and thoughts. One part that has stayed with me throughout the book is the idea of the chase. Often times that idea is meant with being a needy: don’t chase after a guy/girl, if they’re meant to be in your life you don’t have to chase them...these ideas and more, but the Lord chased me down and continues to peruse me, so why shouldn’t I do the same with those in my life. They are no less worthy of the chase. It’s such a powerful thought! Thanks again.

Alongside in the grace and mercy of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
This book will be often listened to as I am starting my journey with my soon to be teenager. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your wisdom and experience with teenagers to be used as a light at the end of the tunnel. A sweet reminder to cling to Jesus as we walk alongside our young people at home, our church and our community. This book touched my heart ❤️
