  • Ashamed Teen Girls Bible Study Book With Video Access (Student/Study Guide)

    $19.99

    Shame is a lie. Jesus is better.

    We all have a shame reel-a constant loop of memories of things we’d rather forget, whether from things we did or things done to us. Shame keeps us trapped in an endless cycle of striving and failing. Shame keeps us focused on ourselves and what we’ve done rather than Jesus and what He has done-what He’s still doing within us. We can go from feeling like we’re doing just fine on our own to being absolutely, hopelessly devastated by shame. But we weren’t made to live like this. Jesus moves us from death to life, from despair to hope, and from shame to freedom. Together, we can discover the truth about shame, about us, and about how Jesus makes everything better.

    In this 6-session study from Scarlet Hiltibidal, teen girls will discover how to move beyond shame to the joy-inducing, peace-producing thrill that comes from a relationship with Jesus. We were made to live in the light because Jesus experienced shame in our place.

    Features:

    *Six teaching videos featuring author Scarlet Hiltibidal, approximately 6-8 minutes in length
    *Leader helps in the back of the book to guide questions and discussion with small groups
    *Personal study segments in the Bible study book to complete between group sessions
    *Biblically rooted and gospel-centered
    *Six group sessions with 5 days of personal study each week

  • Revival Generation Teen Bible Study Book

    $15.99

    Could it happen again?

    Look around. Our world is divided in almost every way imaginable-religion, politics, race, views on sexuality, and much, much more. On the surface, it might not seem like the time is right for a movement of God. On the contrary, now is the perfect time for revival. Not the emotional, momentary, feel-good type that comes and goes, but a revival that changes hearts. When God changes hearts, churches change. And changed churches change cities, which change nations, which change the world. When the world has seemed to be at its darkest, the Spirit of God has moved in a way that only He could. Can He do it again? Yes, He can. We just need to prepare our hearts to be ready when He does.

    In this 8-session Bible study, author Shane Pruitt explores how God prepares our hearts to be catalysts of revival.

  • Faith Beyond Youth Group

    $19.97

    Most typical youth ministries today produce nice, obedient kids who behave themselves–and then leave the church and the faith. Even those who remain struggle to extend their own faith beyond youth group. They seem like “good kids,” but their lives and decisions outside youth group aren’t oriented towards Jesus. Clearly that is not our goal. So what are we doing wrong? And how can we better serve the unique needs of the most anxious, adaptive, and diverse generation in history?

    If you’re tired of youth ministry that fails to change lives, it’s time to change youth ministry. Building on two decades of the Fuller Youth Institute’s work and incorporating extensive new research and interviews, Faith Beyond Youth Group identifies the reasons youth ministry often fails both short-term and long-term, and offers five ways adult youth leaders can cultivate character for a lifetime of growing closer to Jesus rather than drifting away. It shows leaders how to cultivate trust, model growth, teach for transformation, practice together, and make meaning so that the teenagers can become adults who hold fast to the truth 24/7 and boldly live out a robust faith in a watching world.

  • God Heroes And Everyday Dragons Teen Bible Study Book (Student/Study Guide)

    $21.99

    We all love a good story.??
    ?
    Humans have been telling stories since the dawn of creation. Ancient cave paintings told about feats of bravery and victory. These tales were likely also recited around campfires and passed down through the generations. The invention of written language allowed people to tell even more stories and, with the addition of the printing press, to preserve them in books. These days, the biggest form of storytelling is through movies, TV shows, and video games. Even as technology has changed and advanced, humans have continued to tell stories. Why is that????
    ?
    Storytelling is wired into us. Perhaps that is why Jesus spent much of His short ministry traveling around the countryside telling captivating stories. More than 2000 years later, those stories remain some of the most famous stories ever told. Similarly, when God inspired the Bible He didn’t inspire a detailed instruction manual or theology textbook. Rather, He gave us a collection of stories and narratives. One of the most important ways we come to understand truth-about both earthly and spiritual things-is through these stories.?

    Whether you realize it or not, you are in the middle of a story; one that God has been telling since the beginning of time and one that will continue on after you exit stage left. Have you ever thought about the Christian faith like that before?

    The Bible is not just a boring history about things that happened a long time ago. The Bible is an exciting, unified story about a real God who loves people. It is the story of how God used a collection of ordinary men and women to start a movement that, despite violent opposition, would spread around the world. It is a story of good and evil, of companionship, of warfare, and of epic supernatural encounters. It is the greatest story ever told-and you are a character in it.

    In this new 8-part personal Bible study, authors Mike and Daniel Blackaby explore how you can embark on your own faith journey.

  • Grace Culture Teen Bible Study Book (Student/Study Guide)

    $15.99

    What’s Your Story?

    Many great stories can be traced back to a simple origin. How many first pages reveal the plot twists, conflicts, and experiences that make a book or movie script a true classic in the end?

    Our own stories are evidence of this as well. In each one of us, God is writing a classic tale of belief, redemption, grace, and transformation. It’s a story filled with love, but not without its share of dragons to slay. As followers of Jesus, we can expect trials and temptations to challenge our faith and trip us up along the way. Thankfully, Jesus is always present to help us overcome conflicts and persevere through hard times. He teaches us to exchange “cancel culture” for a culture of grace, He shows us how to find strength in a community of believers, and He promises to be with us for the long-haul.

    In this new 6-session Bible study, author D.A. Horton draws from his own life story to show students how God can work through their unique experiences to reveal a life transformed by the love of Jesus Christ.

    This book will…

    *Give students the confidence they need to follow Jesus, balanced with humility and a love for Jesus that will continue to grow.

    *Inform students about the issues they are likely to face as believers in today’s culture.

    *Equip students to start off strong in their faith so that they’re not caught off-guard by certain temptations or life situations.

    *Encourage conversation around the importance of community and accountability.

    *Reveal how God helps us grow stronger in our faith through difficult experiences when we allow Him to lead us through.

  • What To Wear

    $9.74

    Helping kids fall in love with God and His Word as they study the Bible for themselves.

    What to Wear is your kids’ journey into their truest identity–Jesus Christ!

    The Apostle Paul tells us that our identity is in Christ, and we need to dress the part. All who follow Jesus–kids included–must take off and put on certain things. What to Wear is an eight-part study of these items of “clothing” Paul teaches about in Colossians 3. How do we put on compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, forbearance, forgiveness, and love?

    This study shows your kids how Jesus perfectly embodies these virtues and how He enables us to grow in them. Apart from Jesus Christ, our attempts to form these traits in our children will fail. Yet when tied to identity in Christ and our belonging in the church, we see the fruit of these qualities developed in our minds and hearts.

    Kids are encouraged to learn algebra, science, instruments, and athletics. The goal of this study is to help our kids live into their calling to know and love Jesus by studying His Word. In this study, kids will learn the method of observation, interpretation, and application. As kids learn how to read the Bible for themselves, they’ll also grow to delight in God’s Word.

    What to Wear provides the encouragement and guidance needed for your kids journey into looking like Jesus!

  • Next Gen Faith

    $15.19

    When 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.

  • Godbearing Life : The Art Of Soul Tending For Youth Ministry

    $26.99

    A generation ago, The Godbearing Life charted a new course for youth ministry to fuel the faith both of young people and the adults who minister with them. It is founded on the truth that we are all Godbearers to one another, and therefore youth ministry is more about people than programs. Youth ministry is ministry that invites young people into deep soul work and spiritual friendships.

    Like the original, The Godbearing Life, Revised Edition is conversationally written, grounded in scripture, and grows out of all three authors’ own pastoral experience. The update addresses the profound shifts in society and ministry over the past twenty-five years-from the interconnection of technology to the professionalization of youth ministry. This book reimagines the means of Godbearing youth ministry in a post-pandemic digital age in the twenty-first century while holding on to the fact that young people are continuously transformed by the message.

    The Godbearing Life, Revised Edition offers a new generation of church leaders the same depth of spiritual wisdom that shifted the ground for youth workers two decades ago. The basic message is this: young people need adults who practice faith alongside them.

  • Unbound Teen Bible Study Book

    $15.99

    When Jesus shows up, dead comes to life.

    In the book of John, we read the miraculous story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. As Jesus called to his friend, Lazarus rose from his grave, breathing, moving – fully alive – and yet still bound by the clothes he was buried in. Before stepping into the new life that Jesus called him to, he first had to step out of the old.

    Is it possible that, like Lazarus, we too are still bound? Held back by fear, or pride, or shame. Wrapped up in sin, or hurt, or anger, or unforgiveness. Jesus has so much more in mind for those he calls back to life.

    Are you ready to step out of your grave clothes and into the fullness and freedom that God desires for you?

    In this new 6-session study, author Ryan McDermott invites us to shed the old life that has held us back and fully embrace the newness of life that Christ has made possible. Jesus died, not just so that we could have life, but so that we might be unbound and step into a new identity: holy, loved, chosen, and free.

  • End Of Youth Ministry

    $22.99

    What is youth ministry actually for? And does it have a future? Andrew Root, a leading scholar in youth ministry and practical theology, went on a one-year journey to answer these questions. In this book, Root weaves together an innovative first-person fictional narrative to diagnose the challenges facing the church today and to offer a new vision for youth ministry in the 21st century.

    Informed by interviews that Root conducted with parents, this book explores how parents’ perspectives of what constitutes a good life are affecting youth ministry. In today’s culture, youth ministry can’t compete with sports, test prep, and the myriad other activities in which young people participate. Through a unique parable-style story, Root offers a new way to think about the purpose of youth ministry: not happiness, but joy. Joy is a sense of experiencing the good. For youth ministry to be about joy, it must move beyond the youth group model and rework the assumptions of how identity and happiness are imagined by parents in American society.

  • Almost Christmas Youth Study Book (Student/Study Guide)

    $12.99

    In 1741, John Wesley preached his famous sermon titled “The Almost Christian” in which he encouraged people to follow Christ wholeheartedly. We should not be satisfied with being almost Christian but rather strive towards being altogether a Christian.

    In Almost Christmas: A Wesleyan Advent Experience, author and pastor Magrey deVega leads a group of authors to explore how we can make the same commitment to Christ during Advent, connecting our Wesleyan heritage with the traditional Advent themes of Love, Hope, Joy, and Peace.

    In this book, perfect for Advent, deVega and the other authors break down the barriers that prevent us from experiencing an “altogether” love, hope, joy, and peace in Christ in our lives and in the world around us. They demonstrate the promises God offers to us that makes those longings a reality, inviting us to claim those promises for ourselves this Advent and celebrate an altogether Christmas.

    This Youth Study Book takes the ideas presented in the book and interprets them for young people grades 6-12.

  • Faith Generation : Retaining Young People And Growing The Church

    $20.99

This book explores the cultural and theological reasons as to why this is the case and makes research-based recommendations for the faith formation of children and young people. The central argument is that church communities need to engage in deliberate strategies that help foster “intentional Christian Communities’ within which children and young people can form and sustain Christian identity.

  • How Youth Ministry Can Change Theological Education If We Let It

    $33.99

    Since 1993, forty-nine theological seminaries have created opportunities for high school students to participate in on-campus High School Theology Programs (HSTPs) that invite them to engage in serious biblical and theological study. Many of the young people who take part in these programs go on to become pastoral or lay leaders in their churches. What has made these programs so successful – especially given the well-documented “crisis of faith” among young people today?

    In this book thirteen contributors – many of whom have created or led one of these innovative theology programs – investigate answers to this question. They examine the pedagogical practices the HSTPs have in common and explore how they are contributing to the leadership of the church. They then show how the lessons gleaned from these successful programs can help churches, denominations, and seminaries reimagine both theological education and youth ministry.
