Live Free Teen Girls Bible Study Book With Video Access (Student/Study Guide)
$19.99Christ has set us free.
Everyone longs for freedom-the ability to live life to the fullest, unhindered by difficulty and pain. We look to our possessions, relationships, or intellect to fill this need. But by relying on these things for freedom, we unintentionally make them our savior instead of Christ. This exchange leaves us enslaved to the very things we hoped would set us free. In this eight-week, verse-by-verse study on the book of Galatians, author and Bible teacher Elizabeth Woodson reveals that through the gospel alone can we gain what we desire-: freedom from sin and freedom to experience the abundant life Jesus offers.

Next Gen Faith
$18.99When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth? (Luke 18:8)
Jesus’s question is one that should bother all Christians. Increasing numbers of people don’t go to church. Only 4 percent of those born between 1998 and 2013 have a biblical worldview. The rest don’t believe in the Bible, absolute moral truth, or a loving, all-powerful Creator. They don’t even believe in the concept of sin.
We have failed. We have not taken to heart the biblical admonishment to pass on our faith from one generation to the next.
Yet youth pastor Jeff Grenell believes that once American teens and young adults discover that God is even more amazing than Stranger Things, “they will be hooked.”
He notes, “Our world is familiar with the supernatural, but the church is foreign to it. If this changes in the church today, we may have one of the best apologetic tools to reach this generation because the supernatural is in the DNA of the church and its message. Most American teenagers and youth culture are drawn to the spectacular and the spiritual.”
Jeff has written Next Gen Faith: 12 Spiritual Practices for Youth in an effort to reverse the godless trend among the next generations. Written in the vein of the classic Christian book The Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster, Next Gen Faith is designed to provide key steps for spiritual formation for both Christian adults who work with youth as well as teens and young adults themselves.
