Top 30 Books Every Young Influencer Must Read

It's almost a platitude that reading always had inspired influencers to grow. If you want to know which top books every young influencer/ leader should read, please read below. You can download here the survey results in the PDF format. Below is what Jason Young and Daniel Decker embarked to create the recommended list of books. 

• Over 200 people completed the survey, each sharing their top 5 recommended books. 

• That’s nearly 1000 books we combed through and put into a simple, easy to read, downloadable PDF. We listed the books by “Vote” which is basically how many times the book appeared or was recommended overall throughout the survey. 

• While the survey respondents varied by all types of backgrounds, the results slanted more from the perspective of those involved with some aspect of ministry. This is primarily due to the number of people in the ministry space who retweeted the survey link. 

• While we were looking for traditional books for the results of this survey, it’s also worthwhile to note that the Bible was the #1 suggested resource overall.
