QUIET TIME FOR STUDENTS 2011-2012This dynamic tool motivates students to get into God's Word. The Word of Life Quiet Time for Students helps them start the day off right with the simple, yet understandable format of Scripture reading and personal application. Beyond that, the Daily Supplement helps explain each day's passage. Our students understanding of Scripture will come to life because each week correlates with our Sunday School material for the year.
RECREATEThere's an all-out war raging to claim the hearts and minds of this young generation-to claim the heart and mind of your child. The battleground is pop culture, the enemy's strategy is to get our children to embrace values that will ultimately destroy them. It happens every day in the sexualized brand marketing for everything from clothing to song lyrics, from mass media to video games and websites. Perhaps your child's heart is well guarded; but even if he or she has already strayed too far onto enemy turf. ReCreate lays out proven strategies to help you woo even the most resistant heart attitude. The war is on, and you need to stay alert for sniper fire. Routing the enemy's influence begins with you, and it begins today. Parent, what could be more important?
YOUTH CULTURE 101Even though we once were teenagers, we'll never fully understand them. Times and cultures change, and the world of today's teenagers is far different than it was for us. But there's hope-we can understand them better and minister to them more effectively and meaningfully.
Walt Mueller and the Center for Parent/Youth Understanding have been studying American youth culture for nearly two decades-and now you have access to everything this culture analyst knows about teenagers, their world, and how you can interact with them in significant ways.
TEENAGE GUYSIn order to really meet their need, parents and youth workers need to fully understand the inner workings of adolescent guys. Inside you'll get unflinching, no-holds-barred views of what it means to be a teenage guy in the 21st century, along with helpful suggestions on how to minister to teenage boys and their families, process the issues your own students face and more. This book will open your eyes to what's going on inside guys and around them, equipping them toward becoming mature, confident, christian men.
TEENAGE GIRLSWe know teen girls are more than "sugar and spice" - but what motivates them to behave the way they do? HOw does their culture affect their choices? And how can the church help? Here, counselors and veteran youth workers weigh in on issues including eating disorders, self-image, depression, family, addictions, sexuality, spirituality, friendships, and more.
HURTContemporary adolescents seem confident, well-adjusted, and happy. But beneath the surface, they're often lonely, insecure, and empty. What's going on? Claiming that adults have "abandoned" teens just when they most need support, Chap Clark's ethnographic study examines today's changing youth culture from the inside out and suggests five strategies to "turn the tide of systematic abandonment."
