Who is God? Does He care what I do with my life? Does God really love me? These days many young people are confused about God. Help youth workers provide a solid foundation for young teens with The Christian Life junior high school study resource. Part of the exciting new Uncommon youth resource line, this straightforward presentation of the Gospel first explores who God is, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, then guides students through their relationships with God.

Many teens, whether they have grown up in the Church or are new Christians, have Bible knowledge that is full of holes. They may have memorized isolated verses or heard sermons on particular passages, but they're still fuzzy on the ''big picture'' of God's Word. With Uncommon: The New Testament, part of a series of high school group studies and resources developed by youth ministry veteran Jim Burns, youth leaders can introduce the teens in their group to the characters and events of the Early Church. From the Gospels through the book of Revelation, young people will learn about key events and significant people in the early days of God's kingdom. Through the engaging activities and life application studies, they will also learn the central themes of the New Testament: God's unconditional love, God's grace through Christ, becoming a part of God's family, and being an agent of change.

Who loves young teens more than they could ever imagine? Who longs to give them self confidence and a strong identity, to help them be what they were meant to be? Jesus. Help youth workers introduce young teens to the radical messages of Jesus. This study points students to the supernatural power of Jesus Christ and the lessons He taught, which still ring true today for young people. From the miracle of raising Lazarus to Christ's own resurrection and ascension, students will be filled with awe and amazement that the eternally powerful Christ wants a personal relationship with them. Key themes throughout show the balance Christ showed between His power to heal and to cast out demons, and His tenderness to love and care for His disciples and followers, and for us. His parables communicate a spiritual truth or religious principle through simple, but powerful, stories that students can relate to. The three four week modules explain who Christ is, and how each of us can follow His example to a fruitful and fulfilled life.

These 12 sessions of youth-friendly Bible study will introduce your students to the God who keeps His promises, works miracles and forgives His people when they make terrible choices, and help them understand the physical and spiritual history of our human family. And when they meet Adam and Eve, Samuel, Job, Esther, Daniel and many more biblical characters, your students will get to know the real heroes of the faith.
