My friend Imran is a Grove Booklet which looks at how we can help Christian and Muslim young people build friendships. As part of the Grove Youth series it seeks to help Christian youthworkers think through the theological, social and practical issues when seeking to help Christians live out their faith amongst their Muslim friends. My Friend Imran is also available as an e-book.

Published by Church House Publishing, this book examines what it means to have a 'youth-mission-shaped church'. It challenges us to intersect with today's young people in their daily lives and culture. The authors urge us to offer a mission that isn't just about evangelism, but is also about supporting pastorally and spiritually. The book contains a chapter from Andrew Smith exploring issues raised from the work of Youth Encounter particularly looking at the connection between mission and dialogue.
