Dan Kimball says this about Jonathan's new book:
"This book seriously is one which I believe could help shape and inspire the future of
youth ministry evangelism. Jonathan is not afraid to ask the hard uncomfortable questions
and doesn't ignore the elephants we normally do about youth evangelism. But, despite the
uncomfortable reality he raises, he gives such practical advice and, most of all, hope for
the gospel being communicated to youth."
-Dan Kimball, author of The Emerging Church and They Like Jesus, but not
the Church
Here's what people are already saying about this incredible new book:
Jonathan McKee really "gets" events!! He understands what'll make them work the way you
dream they might... and what can make them implode in a fiery cloud of disappointment. This
book will truly help you, with wisdom from countless events Jonathan's been a key part of.
But the reason I like this book best is that I know Jonathan's motivation. He wants to help
you point students towards Jesus... and "Getting Them to Show Up" is invaluable for that!
Scott Rubin
Director of Elevate, Willow Creek Community Church
"Jonathan McKee is one of the most dynamic communicators on creating great outreach events in
the country. This book is extremely practical and very helpful.

Finally! A hands-on resource that does a masterful job of laying out a Biblical philosophy
of outreach and combining it with real and really practical programming ideas. If you're a
youth leader that wants students to show up, then by all means you need Getting Students to
Show Up.
Lane Palmer
Youth Ministry Resource Director, Dare 2 Share Ministries Intl.
This is a terrific book! The stories are real (I have experienced many of them) and the book
is very practical. I think it will be a valuable tool for all youth ministers.

This book is a labor of love written by a man who is good at it, who gets it, and who is,
most importantly, passionate about it.

There's no fluff here and no philosophical rambling, just focused and specific advice every
youth worker needs. From bands who don't know when to stop singing to speakers who ruin the
night-McKee has experienced it all, and doesn't shy away from the hard truths of youth
outreach event planning. In his own words, just because you built it, doesn't mean they'll
come-and as any seasoned youth worker knows, just because they came, doesn't mean they'll
stay.
McKee shows readers how to program their outreach events, whether large scale or small, from
the time the idea is first sparked at a leadership meeting until the lights go out and the
last kid leaves the building--on time! Working within the demographics of their own
communities, their individual budgets and resources, any youth pastor can use this guide to
program an event that works-effective youth outreach events are programmed one tiny detail at
a time. Getting Students to Show Up is just what today's youth workers need. No
gimmicks and gags, just practical how-tos that have already been tried and found to be
true.
Tamara Rice, Media Editor

"Jonathan always knows how to come with the right amount of inspiration, humor and practical
information. This is a practical 'what to do' and 'why to do it' book that you will be able
to use over and over as you develop your youth ministry program. I highly recommend Getting
Students to Show Up."
Fred Lynch, Author, Speaker
I had a conversation with a youth pastor recently who told me that he had given up trying
to reach non-churched teenagers. "Today's kids are turned off by the church," he said, "and
besides, we can't compete with the entertainment industry." I mumbled something to him about
keeping his chin up and/or getting some career counseling. But now I wish I could have handed
him a copy of this book. I know it would have changed his mind by the time he reached chapter
four. Jon McKee has given us a wonderful resource that will ultimately result in thousands
more kids coming to know Christ.
Wayne Rice
Co-founder of Youth Specialties; founder, Understanding Your Teenager seminars
"Big 'Ups' to Jonathan for his insightful and useful book! I can imagine him walking through
the youth ministry resource aisle looking for what is not there and then delivering to us
exactly what we need. Jonathan's ministry experience, vision and passion to reach the
non-connected or lost kid truly comes out in this book. His enthusiasm and practical ideas
will be useful to any youth worker, church or para-church, looking to extend the reach of
their ministry."
Don Talley, Senior Director, YFC/USA National Ministries
