Of the slew of youth ministry material available, finding a better comprehensive resource for youth workers than Jim Burns’ Youth Builder would be difficult. Originally released in the late ’80s, it quickly became one the biggest-selling resources of its kind. With the help of Mike DeVries, two decades later it has been updated, reformatted and re-released with all the original wisdom modernized into Uncommon Youth Ministry. It is no small praise for Doug Fields to call this his “favorite youth ministry book ever written.”
Accompanying this foundational volume comes a new curriculum under the Uncommon umbrella. These 12-session group Bible studies for students are built on the same principles of relational ministry, discipleship and scriptural authority Jim writes about in UYM.
Whether you’re new to youth ministry or a veteran, a volunteer or a student, you’ll see that when it comes to youth ministry materials, Jim Burns’ Uncommon line is as good as it gets.
