"Get Them Talking" 

Junior High Workbooks

High School Workbooks

These workbooks are designed with eye-catching graphic layouts utilizing case studies with challenging questions, and list-making which challenge the student's thoughts and values, and an opportunity to make value judgments.  All of these are designed to "get them talking" since they all involve making decisions and the opportunity to explain choices

These workbooks are designed to be discussion-oriented. The questions and exercises in these workbooks are intended to get students talking about the important issues being covered.  Teachers are  encouraged to avoid lecturing and try to involve your students in a class discussion. Do not just let students give their answers to a question; have them explain why they answered in that way. When students are asked to make a list, use their answers to construct a list on the board and have all the students contribute to the list. Use the lessons as tools to get them talking about these issues and what God's word says about them.

Next Book: "At the Feet Of Jesus" (studies in the life of Christ)

Try this new and exciting approach to Bible study. The Bible study method used in this book grew out of our desire to see our students spend more time with the Bible text. In each class session students are required to work in teams reading from the Bible and searching for specific pieces of information. This search of the text becomes the foundation upon which you can build meaningful class discussions and make powerful applications to the lives of your students. Give this workbook (and this method) a try and teach your teenagers the joy of discovering the great truths found in God’s word.
