In addition to general investment regarding the chapter topic, YMG also includes a study guide at the end of each chapter to serve as both an evaluation tool and action plan to take you past reading to improvement and implementation. This resource can be used by you personally or with the team with which you work. It will even allow you to open up the youth ministry conversation with other ministry areas and staff members you currently work with.
We hope this resource will serve you and your church well, and hope that it remains an open ended conversation as time goes on. If there is something in the resource you feel could be improved, expanded, or updated, please feel free to submit comments below. The goal is to periodically update the resource, so it can have extended life.

Chapter 1: The Essentials (Personal Spiritual Life)
