Starting Right: Thinking Theologically About Youth Ministry is the first academic textbook that introduces youth ministry students (whether undergraduate or graduate level) to a marriage of solid research, real life, and accessible design. Whereas most college-level texts may reflect a thorough (though impenetrable) mastery of the field, they tend to expect readers to plow through unnecessarily thick prose and bland design because "it's good for them." Youth Specialties doesn't agree. In this debut title to a continuing academic book line, college and seminary students will be...

One reason for writing these books is that most curriculums that are now available for youth leaders and their students are just skimming the books of the Bible (example: 4-12 lessons on the Gospel of John that do not go beyond the surface of the text). We are talking about writing books that would have the entire Biblical text printed in each book. Books that actually go deeper into the meaning of the text. We are thinking of dozens of word and character studies, with many fascinating historical and personal stories, followed by in depth thought provoking questions. This series of books...

Journey of Faith for Adults welcomes adults of all ages and backgrounds to the Catholic faith and meets them where they are in their own faith journey, using an engaging pastoral style. Based on the ever-popular and long-running Christian initiation program from Liguori Publications, Journey of Faith and Jornada de Fe (previously, Camino de Fe) addresses relevant life issues, faith topics, and questions in a catechetical approach to RCIA.

Now with a new, more modern design, Journey of Faith combines discussion questions, private...

One hundred adaptable discussion starters provide a brief story, usually factual, followed by a series of provocative questions. Each story explores a topic pertinent to young people, such as drugs, truancy, or parental relationships; or an important biblical concept, such as giving, the afterlife, or love. The questions begin with general issues before moving on to what the Bible has to say. Extra questions are included for use with unchurched young people. The last twenty-five discussion starters provide a journey...

God, the Great Storyteller, chose to communicate with us through story--in fact, a greayt library of stories, filled with heroes, villains, sex, violence, intrigue, sacrifice, and redemption. The Think Tank gives young people an opportunity to meet that incredible Bible narrative--perhaps for the first time. This book contains one hundred stories designed to provoke discussion, followed by penetrating questions connecting the stories to biblical bedrock. The stories are in four parts:

INTRODUCTION

"And behold there was a very stately palace before him, the name of which was Beautiful; and it stood by the highway-side."

The feet are very small when they start out on the highway towards the Palace Beautiful, and need the guidance of those who have travelled far. Let us take care that before they meet their Apollyon they will be walking side by side with the Master.

It has been my endeavor, through picture and story, to make the people...

PREFACE

THIS book takes the place of '' Our Unions '' in the list of publications of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, but it is not a revision of that volume. "Union Work '' is a new book from beginning to end, every sentence appearing here for the first time. Since "Our Unions" was written, twenty years ago, Christian Endeavor unions have obtained a remarkable development, calling for an entirely new manual. An indication of this development is the...
