Margaret Becker - Coming Up For Air
If you're ready for some real honesty, mixed with a self-depreciating humor, and you're ready to look in the mirror, then get your hands on a copy of this book. It's worth it.

Berry, Carmen - The Unauthorized Guide to Sex and Church
Simply put, this was a fascinating book and I was amazed at how the view of sex has changed over the centuries.

Flannagan, Andy - Distinctive Worship
This book should be considered a must read manual for youth leaders as well as anyone else in ministry because it gives many excellent tips on how to span the generational gap.

Garlow, James L. and Peter Jones - Cracking Da Vinci's Code
Cracking Da Vinci’s Code spends 10 chapters covering issues that range from sex to women and the "Sacred Feminine" to history and symbols. While the authors go fairly deep into their discussions, they never talk "over your head" or get dry and boring, almost putting you to sleep. The points that they make are quite thought provoking and can lead to some very interesting discussions.

Ludy, Eric & Leslie - Teaching True Love to a Sex-at-13 Generation
A very appealing part of the Ludy’s message is its focus on empowerment. They don’t want teens to be innocent in the sense of naïve or ignorance.

Norris, Chuck - Against All Odds My Story
The bottom line is that this is an extremely well-written book that gives readers a complete picture of a man who is much more than just a martial-arts champion, a movie star and a TV star.
