  • 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.

  • James Teen Girls Bible Study Book

    $15.99

    “Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters…” –James 1:2

    Trials + Faith = Endurance

    Ever had a bad day? How about a bad week? Month? Perhaps you long for the fairy tale but can’t seem to find your way out of the real-life documentary–the one that exposes the truth that sometimes just getting to the next day can be an accomplishment. You assume the role of damsel in distress. Where in the world is your hero?

    When God sent Jesus to rescue us, He didn’t do it to deliver us from the daily struggles that come with living in a broken world. That’s right. Jesus doesn’t promise a problem-free life, but He does promise to walk with us through the trials that seem to show up around every turn. Along the way, He provides friendship, wise counsel, lessons in obedience, and even a scriptural map that will guide us toward the joyful, fulfilling, enduring, Kingdom-kind-of-life we long for.

    Join author and minister Amy-Jo Girardier in this 5-session Bible study for teen girls that will awaken their faith and teach them the transformative habits of Bible study, prayer, obedience, and patience they need to confidently embrace and experience a Jesus kingdom kind of life.

    Are you ready to discover the abundant life Jesus has for you? Let the adventure begin!

  • 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.

  • Next Gen Faith

    $18.99

    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.

  • Everyday Theology Teen Girls Bible Study Book (Student/Study Guide)

    $15.99

It’s for you in your everyday moments, questions, and decisions. It’s for the big and little, the exciting and mundane. Our theology is the basis of our faith and touches every part of our existence.

    In this 8-session study, teen girls will explore the essential doctrines of Scripture, God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, humanity, salvation, the church, and the end times to know God more deeply through these foundational truths.

  • Stories Jesus Told Teen Bible Study Book

    $15.99

  • Skinny On Parents

    $6.99

    Parents are the biggest influence on the lives of teenagers-a fact that research has proved again and again. Yet interactions with parents can be one of the trickiest areas for a youth worker to navigate well. Great youth ministries are passionate about helping parents-the key influence on teenage faith-succeed in their God-given roles. That’s the foundational message of The Skinny on Parents, which will lead you toward a place where you focus more of your energy on resourcing, equipping, partnering with, and empowering parents. Parents are not the enemy. Ignoring them will diminish the impact of your ministry. Most parents struggle with fears but also want help. And you can come alongside them to partner in helping teenagers fully step into a life of faith. This book is filled with practical ideas that will energize your ministry to parents and families. And if you as a youth worker provide help in a way that allows parents to feel more equipped and confident, then everyone wins: families, teenagers, and your youth ministry!

  • Skinny On Volunteers

    $6.99

    A youth ministry needs a solid group of volunteers to be truly effective. We youth workers all know this-but how do we make it happen? Many of us don’t do much when it comes to mobilizing volunteers and equipping them for ministry. Our plate is already full, and building a great team sounds like yet another task to add to the list. But what if your efforts to mobilize and equip volunteers actually lightened your schedule? What if this investment of time actually paid back double, quadruple, or even tenfold?The Skinny on Volunteers will help you concentrate on three simple skills that will help you mobilize and equip leaders: recruiting, keeping, and training volunteers. Yes, volunteers take time. But you’ll discover the rewards of investing in a team of people who will love teenagers, connect with them, and disciple them.
