More Detail
Youth workers know that conversation is key for helping young people explore their faith – but it can be hard to get it going.
This book from Martin Saunders is here to help. The Ideas Factory provides 100 adaptable discussion starters: a brief story, usually factual, is followed by a series of provocative questions. 100 double-page spreads contain a story on the left-hand page and questions on the right. Stories explore a topic pertinent to young people, e.g. drugs, truancy, parental relationships; or an important biblical concept, e.g. giving, the afterlife, love. Questions begin with general discussion and move on to what the Bible has to say. Extra questions are included for use with unchurched young people.
The last 25 discussion starters provide a journey through the main stories and themes of the Bible. This priceless resource will make your session preparation easier, and make the impact of your efforts go deeper.
Suitable for: 11-19 year olds
