10 Mistakes I Made in Youth Ministry

Children & Youth

“Steve Eatmon is a faithful youth worker who, like the rest of us, has learned some valuable lessons the hard way. Thankfully, he’s also humble enough to admit it! I strongly recommend this book, especially to new youth leaders, with confidence it will help you avoid a few of these same mistakes yourself.”

Alongside Jesus

Children & Youth

“Devotionals for teenagers are notoriously difficult to recommend. They're either trendy and biblically light or they're so exegetically dense students have a hard time knowing what difference it makes to real life. Drew Hill's Alongside Jesus is different. He invites students into the presence of Jesus and draws them into the biblical text while leading them to put it into practice. As a youth pastor and parent of teenagers, I cannot wait to get Alongside Jesus into the hands of my teenagers.”

Faith Builder Catechism

Children & Youth

“Faith Builder Catechism is visually engaging and biblically robust. What a great blessing for parents and ministry leaders who are raising up the next generation to know and love the Lord! How I wish this was available when my own kids were young!”

Longing for Christmas

Children & Youth

“Longing for Christmas reminds youth that they long more for God himself than for his gifts. The authors of this devotional understand the world of teenagers and lift their eyes and hearts to behold the beauty and power of Jesus to fulfill their deepest longings.”

Social Media Pressure

Children & Youth

“John Perritt is a wise and biblical guide for students who want to prayerfully evaluate their relationship with their phones in light of their relationship with Christ. This is an especially good family devotional for parents to read with their young teen before handing them a smartphone.”

Take Heart for Teens

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Take Heart for Teens invites youth to take Jesus into their hearts and see how he graciously delivers hope and joy. This message couldn’t be more timely, as a growing number of teenagers struggle to see how Jesus has anything to do with their mental health and emotions. This devotional is a gift to our youth.”

Teenagers and Mental Health

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“I needed this book twenty years ago when I started in youth ministry. I’m convinced that Danny and Monica have written the new go-to book for youth workers who want to navigate mental health with sensitivity and biblical faithfulness. You have teenagers in your ministry (or family) who need you to read this book. Don’t wait until there’s a crisis to open it—read it today.”
