Junior High Ministry by Wayne Rice

If you're doing ministry with young teens, high school or older elementary grade levels this is the book to read. The book I have is quite old yet I find the information and advise still relevant today.

As an added bonus there's a section for games and teaching ideas at the end.

110 Tips, Time-Savers and Tricks of the Trade by Wayne Rice

A carefully selected assortment of axioms on youth ministry that will benefit anyone who works with young people in church.
Complied by the Youth Spcialties Seminar Team, the "words of wisdom" in this book reflect many years of experience and a keen understanding of what it takes to effectively minister to today's youth.
