Youth workers always need three things: prayer, ideas and inspiration. And maybe a case of Red Bull. In this easy-to-read book, author and high school pastor Josh Griffin sifts through years of little sleep working in the trenches of youth ministry to share personal reflections on youth ministry. The result is a resource packed with practical advice and useable ideas on every page that will help make your work simpler and your ministry more successful.

The good, the bad and the ugly – this is a collection of those thoughts. NOTE: There are actually 113 thoughts in this book, not 99.
