Creative Bible Lessons in Essential Theology: 12 Lessons to Help Your Students Know What They Believe Review Many of the essentials are here, including the importance of attending church, love, surrender and control, God's identity, God's will, and so many others. The best part of this book is in the philosophy that motivates it. It doesn't actually teach theology; rather it encourages students to discuss it. The book requires that leaders be ready to lead theological discussions, which can sometimes be more challenging than teaching theology. Use this book to help students dig deeper into what they believe. --The Journal of Student Ministries, Summer 2009Hedges continues the Creative Bible Lessons series with an unbelievable look at the pursuit of theology.

It is a must-have item for all youth pastors seeking to provide a Christian worldview to their students. --Youthworker Journal, September/October 2009 				    	 					 From the Back Cover As a youth worker you have certainly spent much of your time addressing the current issues facing teens, but have you stopped to think about what may be behind students' behavior? Many of the not-so-wise choices students make are the result of a confused worldview that comes from uncertainty about who God is. It's easy for students to dismiss the truth when they learn from the world that all truth is relative.  Creative Bible Lessons: Essential Theology uses a conversational approach to give students a theological foundation to better understand God and his purpose for how to live their lives. Throughout the twelve sessions of this study students will-- â¢ learn how creation provides evidence of God's existence. â¢ look at how God has chosen to reveal himself through his Word.  â¢ learn to live lives that reflect God's love for them. â¢ understand their need for God's direction. â¢ commit to following God's will as they make life decisions. â¢ discover how God's invitation to enter his kingdom affects the direction of their lives. â¢ examine where they are with God on a personal level. Following in the tradition of the bestselling Creative Bible Lessons series, you'll find audio, visual, and hands-on activities to engage your students in the pursuit of theology. And because every student learns differently, each lesson includes options to help you reach your particular group of students, whether they learn best from imaginative, analytic, common sense, or dynamic teaching styles. With all these tools at your disposal you are guaranteed to get your students fired-up for seeking God and his plan for them. 				    	 					              See all Product description
