In 2008, Mark DeVries wrote one of the best youth ministry books available in the field, Sustainable Youth Ministry. This book influenced churches all over the country with a sound theology and understanding of the workings of youth ministry. The practical tools and insights that DeVries provided have increased the effectiveness of many local church youth ministries.
Sustainable Youth Ministry is a must read for every youth minister and pastor, and I highly recommend the book to help train parents, ministry leaders, and volunteers in the local church. I am very excited for the impact that this book will have on youth ministry.

I ordered enough books for our entire adult committee and the ministerial staff. This book has identified the common pitfalls churches make with their youth ministries and how to structure the ministry for success. We're looking forward to implementing the program at our church and not ruining another young minister.
