James: 12 Inductive Sessions on Practical Christianity

The Bible can be very clear...and very obscure. All of God's Word is valuable. But not all of it is crystal clear in its meaning. Here's a chance to glean wisdom from one of the most up-front, rubber-meets-the-road, meat-and-potatoes books in the Bible...James! This New Testament letter from the apostle (and earthly brother of Jesus) doesn't get any clearer--especially for your middle and high schoolers: So you say you have faith? Let's see it. Want Wisdom? Ask God. Love money? Prepare for Disappointment. Want Results? Pray. Get ready for 12 inductive, small-group Bible studies on what some believe is the most immediately practical guidebook for Christianity in all of Scripture. This complete curriculum includes-- --Your own, personal prep section because you know that your best teaching comes from your heart, not directly from a book. --Not only plenty of face time with your small group members, but also frequent opportunities for solitary meditation. --Truly in-depth sessions with activity and discussion options galore to choose from. --The entire letter of St. James (NIV), ready for photocopying and handing out to your students--passage by passage, chapter by chapter, or in its entirety. Give your students intimate, detailed Bible studies filled with loving, passionate, even brutally direct principals--just the kind of practical, faith-affirming helps they can apply to their lives immediately. And you'll get it all in James: 12 Inductive Sessions on Practical Christianity.
