My little network of Youth leaders is growing and I’m curious if any of you have come across these books? I was looking for something to help with Small Group training and found this:
Then came across these looking very interesting:
Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations
When Church Kids Go Bad: How to Work with Rude, Obnoxious, and Apathetic Students
What else?
What 3 books could you not live without dealing with Youth Ministry, Student Ministry, or the ministry you’re in?
Our youth kids’ small groups went through ‘Do hard things’. I didn’t hear anything back which means it wasn’t bad, but not phenomenal either.
my top youth reads this year
Vintage Jesus – Mark Driscoll
The Book of uncommon prayer part 1 and 2
Wild goose chase- mark batterson (i used the teaching to preach huge God sized dreams)
Soul Shaper – Jones
Contemplative Youth Ministry – Yacanellie
Experiments in Contemplative Youth Ministry – Yacanellie
A new kind of youth ministry – Folmsbee
