| LIVE Bible |
LIVE
Bible
LIVE isn't a book your teens will just read...they'll live it.
That's because as teens dive in, they'll come face to face with hundreds of opportunities to do something about what they're reading. To respond. To grow. To roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty. Sometimes they'll apply what they're learning alone. Other times they'll find someone to help. But always they'll stretch themselves, finding ways to infuse their faith into life at school, at home, and with friends and family.
LIVE delivers easy-to-understand NLT text and hundreds of relevant opportunities to respond to God's Word right on the spot. Illustrations are by teenagers, for teenagers. Brief devotions and challenges peppered through the Bible invite honest, open responses.
This youth Bible takes "interactive" to an entirely new level! Teenagers who use the LIVE Bible will find:
* Introductions to 16 real-life, remarkable people from around
the globe.
* Room to respond in their Bibles. To question. To think. To express
themselves.
* Jesus sightings. Teens will see the thread that runs throughout
the Bible from Genesis straight to Jesus.
* Straightforward, means-what-it-says NLT text that makes for great
devotional reading and solid study. Clear, concise, and accurate.
* An invitation to join the community.
Upload their faith expressions to www.group.com/roughedit--We'll
post their photos, poems, sketches, whatever images honestly reflect
how God is speaking to them. Think of it as an online gallery showing
how God's revealing himself through teens like yours and teens...
well...not like yours.

| NOOMA Pick 6 |
NOOMA
Pick 6
NOOMA, by Rob Bell, is a revolutionary product that is changing the way people experience spirituality. A series of short films on DVD with an in-depth discussion guide, NOOMAs are appropriate for personal and small group settings, congregational meetings, and much more. Like parables, they use the experiences of our lives to teach about the fullness of life through Jesus, tackling issues like forgiveness, discipleship, and unconditional love. The study materials accompanying each NOOMA encourage meaningful discussion with relevant questions and biblical references.
With "NOOMA Pick 6" you get to choose
ANY 6 NOOMA videos that you would like for only $60. (That is a savings
of $17.94)
