Resources for Christian parents abound, so each year we read the newest selections on the market and award the most helpful ones our “best new book” designation.
Year after year, the Rooted content team considers our annual book awards one of the highlights of the year!

Resources for Christian parents abound, so each year we read the newest selections on the market and award the most helpful ones our “best new book” designation.
We selected the award winners in the Bible Teaching category with an eye to resources that are helpful to ministry in youth. Enjoy!
Here at Rooted we celebrate the writing of good books! Through our annual book awards, we recommend new titles that encourage God’s people to experience his steadfast love and walk with him in obedience.
Because of the diversity of our roles and the ever-changing nature of our culture, youth ministers must always be learning and growing. Each year Rooted curates a list of the best new books for youth workers to read, and this year we have three to recommend.
“What better way to encourage teenagers to love great books than to give them hard copies of those books to hold in their hands?”
Theological depth through expository Bible teaching is one of Rooted’s five pillars of gospel-centered youth ministry. As we work to teach teenagers the full counsel of God’s Word (Acts 20:27), we must always seek to grow in the grace and understanding of the gospel ourselves.
