Suggestion: Youth/Family Ministry-Specific Resource Bundles

Richard Villanueva

Are there any Youth or Children's Pastors using Logos?  If so, any input, book suggestions, or thoughts would be most appreciated!

After seeing a couple posts waiting for an update with the Chaplin's Package, it reminded me of a thought I had a while ago about Ministry-Specific Packages.  I've wondered if Youth Ministry (or Children's/Worship/Counseling/Etc. Ministry) specific bundles or base packages would ever be in the future for Logos.  The Baker Youth, Family Collection is a welcome addition, but there are others that may be helpful.

I'd be thoroughly happy even with Ministry Resource Bundles (S, M, L, XL) instead of a full-blown "Silver Youth Ministry Base Package." (I'd be really surprised if it went that far, but I wouldn't say no to it!)

 There are numerous authors and resources in Vyrso that could find their way over to the Logos site that are more than "1001 Games for 11 year olds" (not that I'm against those books, I just know they probably have a better fit in Vyrso, rather than Logos... although thematic tagging for children's ministry age-appropriate object lessons may have a place in an illustration search...)

A couple books that come to mind for youth ministry are:

• Your First Two Years In Youth Ministry (anything Doug Fields)
• The Sticky Faith Series (Anything else that Dr. Chap Clark writes!)
• Sustainable Youth Ministry and anything by Mark Devries
• Youth Culture 101 or anything by Walt Mueller
• Teaching Your Children Healthy Sexuality by Dr. Jim Burns
• Group Magazine (taking a nod from the Christianity Today Magazine inclusion)
• As You Go - Dr. Alvin Reid 
• Almost Christian - Kendra Creasy-Dean
• Anything on adolescent development and teen crisis counseling is a plus! 
  

I need to sita nd think about a few more titles that would be great as well.  Granted, you can't beat some of the Vyrso prices, but if it would create a better tagged resource and putting them all in one place/purchase, I'm down for it!
