Reading is FUNdamental

I love to read and am always reading something. For good or for bad i am usually reading several books at the same time. Usually one that i picked, one i being made to read and one that in know i should read. Well that is true right now so i just thought i would highlight a few and recommend them.

1. My Pick- Reinventing Youth Ministry (Again) - by Wayne Rice

Very good, i really love the stories in the book. His history with Youth Specialties as well as his time in the local church. I also love it because he is real about his strengths and his weaknesses. Not many authors are willing to talk about their weaknesses. Most books are about how amazing their are and all of their successes. It refreshing to read a youth ministry book about a real person.

2. Must Read- Think Orange by Reggie Joiner

Again a great book which will make you think about what the role of youth ministry really is in your church. Many of the same insights as in Reinventing.

3. Needed to read- Middle School Ministry made Simple- by Kurt Johnston

I read it a long time ago but am rereading it as now i am in full time middle school ministry. A great encouragement.

4. Just Finished reading- Soul Pancake by Rainn Wilson- Great
