I have to teach a junior high class while the regular teacher is on maternity leave. I needed something ready to go, but that was engaging. This fits the bill! Ignore the negative review. I read this person's reviews and he simply repeats the same thing about all this author's books--obviously he has a personal issue that has nothing to do with this material's content.

This review is from: Wild Truth Bible Lessons 2 (Paperback)

I have used this book teaching both junior high and high school kids. The thing they like about it is that they are involved from the very beginning. At this age, the last thing they want is to sit and listen to a teacher drone on and on, so that is why the games and object lessons work so well. If I could change anything about it, it would be to have the scripture actually printed in the book, so I didn't have to look it up separately. Most curriculum that I have used has required great amounts of effort to make it interesting. With this one, all of the work has been done for me and preparation time is kept to a minimum. I love that each of the lessons relates to something concrete that kids face. Well done!
