Customer Reviews

very satisfied

I recieved my product speedily, and it was in perfect condition. I am pleased with the merchandise, and would definately by from them again.

Good price...Great book!!!

I bought this book on a lark, wanting something for my sun morn jr. high class. There are enough lessons to cull through for what you want or need. These lessons are not going to teach with no prep, though. I felt they were great for the short time we have on sun morn before worship. The object lessons are memorable, the scriptures are well thought out, and the discussion questions offer a good base to get everyone involved.

Good lessons for Youth Groups

Short and sweet: the object lessons contained in the book can be used to great effect in many youth groups. Some you can even create a whole meeting around. The "pros": quick, easy and meaningful lessons that employ methods that we see Jesus using. The "cons": some of the lessons are not appropiate for Jr. High/Middle school age kids and could be questionable with a new group of kids as some of the lessons involve more mature themes. Overall, a great reference and useful as a part of youth group meeting or Sunday school class.

A great start!

This book has a lot of great lesson ideas for teens. If you need a place to start and you're looking for a book to give you weekly lesson ideas with ordinary things, there are some great thought starters in here. I was pleasantly surprized and found a lot of material that I will use over and over. Good purchase!

Even a youth can teach other youth about God!

I bought this in order to help bring the faith back to my church youth group. I am only 17 and I have been working a lot with my youth group. This book has helped give me some fascinating ideas about how to reach out. In reading this book I learned a lot my self. It has been a great help and I loved it!
