Unleashing God's Word in Youth Ministry
Youth Ministry Book ($19)
Author: Barry Shafer
(Youth Specialties/Zondervan)

Whether Bible studies are a regular part of your ministry, or you’re thinking about how to bring Bible study into your ministry in a more significant way, chances are that you want to help your students enter into God’s word in a way that challenges them and changes their lives. That’s a goal worth working towards…but sometimes you will feel like it’s a goal that you may never reach.

Unleashing God’s Word in Youth Ministry is designed to help you develop a Bible study approach that engages students on a deeper level—even if you’re an avid curriculum user or someone who creates all your own discipleship materials from scratch. Unleashing God’s Word in Youth Ministry is a needed collection of “how to” and “why to.” And it’s a needed “go to” for any youth worker when their students say (and they will say), “we want to go deeper.”

Nothin' But Christ: A Teen Study in Colossians
7 Sessions ($18)
Each generation tends to add another layer to the gospel—its own cultural expectations.

Watch what happens as students address questions like: What does it mean to be “in Christ”? How can Jesus’ supremacy in all things affect my life in a practical way? What difference does it make where I get my identity?
