Nearly 200 ready-to-use ideas for hard-hitting Bible lessons and relevant worship services for teenagers! - Bible Study Meetings . . . Techniques and approaches for making any Bible lesson -- topical or scriptural -- appealing to unchurched teenagers as well as to preachers' kids. - Creative Bible Lessons . . . 'Martha and Mary Malpractice' (page 67), 'Noah and the Ark I. Q. Test' (page 43), and 70 more very different, very fun, and very solid Bible lessons. - Theme Lessons . . . Build an entire lesson on a specific theme. Try 'Feet Meeting' (page 118) -- foot games followed by a lesson on the symbolic importance of washing each other's feet. You aren't into feet? Okay, what about the hands of Jesus? Or the light versus darkness? They're all here! - Bible Games . . . These won't speed your kids into seminary, but they certainly go a long way toward making the Bible interesting to your students -- and fun, too! - Worship Services . . . Some are informal, others have a liturgical feel -- and all are innovative. Here are the ideas for communion, confession, music, prayer, and Scripture reading. And More . . . Full lessons (all the components are here, from opening mixers to closing prayers), board games (with reproducible game 'boards'), and ideas for using guest speakers and special projects. Whether you're a youth worker or a recreation director at a church, school, club, or camp -- Creative Meetings, Bible Lessons, and Worship Ideas is your storehouse of proven, youth-group tested ideas.

This review is from: Creative Meetings, Bible Lessons, & Worship Ideas for Youth Groups (Paperback)
I have been using this book ever since it arrived. It is not always easy to find ways to worship with 12 year old girls. I think this book and the work of the spirit has been at work here acheiving the goal.

I like the ideas in this book. But some of the games are very difficult and hard to understand how to set them up to play.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Creative Meetings, Bible Lessons, & Worship Ideas for Youth Groups (Paperback)
Last year I used the idea of the "Poor Man's Holy Land Tour". My youth LOVED it. They enjoyed being "locked in jail", reading Bible passages from the tallest condo in our city, and going to the "Jordan River". This year I purchased the book and have planned a month of fun activities already. There were a few games that were so detailed my brain started to hurt figuring it out. However, the large amount of easy and creative lessons make me give it 5 stars.
