This title includes good practice, loads of ideas and Bible principles for community and church-based youth workers.

This book will equip church leaders and children's workers to explain the cross to children and young people so that they not only understand the richness of the message of the cross but are encouraged to respond. Four key ways to understand the cross are explored - Jesus takes our place, Jesus triumphs over evil, Jesus as a reconciler, Jesus' dramatic rescue bid.

Think through the implications of Sunday and midweek groups and pick up practical tips on language and ideas best suited to communicating the gospel in this context.
