"One of the most challenging parts of following Jesus is being able to explain the what's and why's of your faith. Whether a friend's questions stump you or you're having doubts of your own, it helps to know what you believe and why. There's no need to be afraid to ask the tough questions. When it comes to your faith, there's no such thing as a dumb question and no topic should be off-limits. God wants you to understand your faith so you can help others understand it, too. In Think, you'll find 20 straightforward studies that explore what the Bible says about controversial and difficult topics. You'll discover why the Bible is worth believing, you'll find out how you can be sure Jesus was more than a nice guy and good teacher, and you'll see that the Bible really does have relevant things to say about life today. God wants to give you solid reasons to believe, along with the know-how to explain your faith without sounding intolerant or arrogant. So dig in and be sure about what you believe."
"When you stop to think about your future, you might be excited. Or confused. Or just totally scared. But when you know where you’re going (or at least who’s leading you towards your future), you can take that giant leap with confidence. With all the influences in your life pushing you one way or another, it’s good to know that you can count on God to guide you once you catch on to his plans. Nobody expects you to have it all figured out by the time you finish this book. But you’ll be on your way to understanding who you are and how you can make the most out of your life. In Soar, you’ll find 20 hands-on studies that provide vital insights into how God made you and how he plans to lead you, step-by-step, through life. You’ll be better able to prioritize the important things in your life, you’ll know what it means to be a willing follower of God and choose to go his way because you want to, and you’ll discover how to live without fear of the future because you’re never alone on the journey. Even when you have no idea where your life is headed, you can take comfort in the fact that God does."
"Sadly, studies show that there are few differences in the attitudes and actions between people who claim to be Christians and those who don't choose that label. But everything we read in the Bible says we should be transformed; we should be different than the rest of the world. What would it look like if you lived the life God desires for you? How would your life be different if you abandoned your typical routine and refused to settle for anything less than the best God has in store for you? In Thrive, you'll find 20 life-impacting studies that will draw you into the Bible and help you understand who you are and who God wants to help you become. You'll discover what the Bible says about how God made you, what kind of life he has planned for you, and how you can survive the tough times of your life. Even if you struggle to keep your faith alive at times, God wants to help you thrive. The reality is, God loves us just the way we are-but he also loves us too much to leave us that way."
"It’s easy to follow someone you can see. When your mom leads you through the aisles of a store, you can clearly see her. Maybe you can even anticipate her next turn. But when you decide to follow Jesus, it’s a different story. Or is it? For the people in the Bible who followed Jesus, it was a physical act. He was right there in front of them. But today, as you try to follow Jesus, how do you stay in step with him? Especially if you don’t know who he is or where he’s leading you? In Follow, you’ll find 20 eye-opening studies that will draw you into the Bible and reveal to you the real Jesus. You’ll discover how a guy who lived 2,000 years ago can impact your life today and for all eternity. Designed to address many of the questions that high school students have about Jesus, Follow will help you understand what it means to truly follow Jesus—and why it’s worth it."
