[This post is part of the Youth Ministry 101 series]

I love to read and I have learned that an important part of growing in youth ministry is continually looking to others to learn.  Because of that I regularly read through various youth ministry, leadership, and theology books that will challenge me to look at what I am doing and why I am doing it.  If you are looking for some great youth ministry books to read, I thought I would list out my favorites hear for you.
