I posted this earlier in the month but did not really comment on any of the books. The book "Growing Up Christian" is a wonderful work to take your youth group(s) through. I would recommend in a small group setting where you can interact (men with men and girls with girls).
Gallagher is president of Pure Life minsitries. This short book "How America Lost Her Innocence" is really valuable. It chronicles how the porn industry and all this sex madness really got brought into the mainstream culture in our country.
Dr. Scott's pamphlet on "From Pride to Humility" is a soul searching booklet. It would probably be helpful to reread every year since pride is our greatest enemy and humility our greatest friend.
Books I am currently reading or ones I recently finished:
1. No Place for the Truth (by David F. Wells). (Done)
2. The Cross and Christian Ministry (by D.A. Carson). (Done)
3. Women's Ministry in the Local Church (by Ligon Duncan/Susan Hunt) (Done)
4. Knowing God (By J.I. Packer) (Ch 19)
5. The Holiness of God (by R.C. Sproul) (Done)
6. Growing Up Christian (by Paul Graustein) (Done)
7. How America Lost Her Innocence (By Steve Gallagher) (Done)
8. From Pride to Humility (pamphlet by Dr. Stuart Scott) (Done)
9. Humility: True Greatness (by C.J. Mahaney) (CH 9)
10. The Message of the Old Testament (by Mark Dever) (not much progress yet)
11. Biblical Eldership (by A. Strauch) (rereading; currently on CH 9)
12. Numerous Jude commentaries (check out the new Pillar commentary)
13. Expository Preaching With Word Pictures: With Illustrations from the Sermons of Thomas Watson (by Jack Hughes) (Ch 3)
14. The Reformed Pastor (by Richard Baxter) (Ch 2 sect 3)
15. What Jesus Demands from the World (by John Piper)

From my other blog Pastor Matt Waymeyer said he is reading the following:
I am currently reading Christ-Centered Preaching by Bryan Chapell (on my list ever since I had the opportunity to meet Chapell and hear him teach on preaching three years ago); The Doctrine of Infant Baptism by Pierre Marcel (the best argument I’ve ever read for paedobaptism, but I remain entirely unconvinced); Getting Things Done by David Allen (so Paul Lamey will continue to think of me as the cutting-edge guy that I am); and Sinners in the Hands of a Good God by David Clotfelter (an excellent read on a difficult subject). I also just read a journal article by Thomas Schreiner: “Does Romans 9 Teach Individual Election unto Salvation?” (JETS 36, 1 [March 1993]: 25-40). For “fun” reading, last week on family vacation I read Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer by James L. Swanson and Greatness: Reagan, Churchill and the Making of Extraordinary Readers by Steven Hayward. I love history, and I’m an incurable Ronald Reagan fan.
