TLH128: Five(ish) Books for Youth Pastors

September 21, 2023

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
