In many ways, this is a perfect little resource. It has 100, easy-to-follow lessons grouped by category: introduction, discussion questions, Scripture and ideas for “taking it into the world.” Seasoned youth ministers will love this because it provides a wonderful jumping-off point. Rookies may have a little more trouble if they are used to working with scripted curriculum.
The theology tends to run on the conservative side, so be aware of your church’s leanings before ordering.
