In this episode of The Longer Haul Youth Ministry Podcast, I’m diving back into a list of books that I’m recommending for youth pastors to read. In addition, I give you several tips for selecting the types of books you read.

I’m convinced that reading is a discipline everyone who longs to lead better and improve should have—reading challenges you beyond where you are. It gives you the opportunity to be mentored by people you may never meet in person. You can learn and grow in ways that would be otherwise impossible.

So hopefully today’s list adds to a list you’re already working on, but if not that’s ok too. Add these to your wishlist.

BOOKS MENTIONED:

Canoeing the Mountains by Tod Bolsinger

Lost in the Middle by Paul Tripp

Team of Rivals by Doris Goodwin

Flip the Script

Engaging Gen Z by Dr. Tim McKnight

The Anxious Teen by Brock Morgan

Be Thou My Vision by Jonathan Gibson
