There are so many great books out there on youth ministry, but it can be hard to know just which to read.  These five books cover Youth Ministry 101. All have proven the test of time in delivering sound theology and practice for making disciples of our young people. Filled with practical ideas for implementing the theory and theology within, they each provide a great resource for establishing a sound youth ministry and a great ‘return to the basics’ tool for seasoned youth leaders.

All these books can be borrowed from the John Kinder Theological Library via their online catalogue: firstly, become a member, and then request the title(s) you want. If the requested books are available, they will normally be sent to you the following day.
