Kevin Johnson has done an excellent job laying out practical discipleship curriculum in this four-volume series, biblically handling issues that matter to students.
Each study focuses on specific themes that meet students at their own level of spiritual interest and maturity. Think will guide your students through difficult topics such as hell, the resurrection of Jesus, the origin of the Bible, evil and other controversial issues. Follow will walk your students from head knowledge of faith into a heart passion for the whole Person and work of Jesus. Thrive will explore the love of God and His desire for deep intimacy with us and how He wants to change us into His likeness. Soar will challenge your students to look at what God expects from us in this love relationship. You are a uniquely created, mind-blowing part of God’s plan; and He has gifted you to participate in His plan to redeem the world.
Each book offers 20 studies directing students to address solid, relevant questions while looking to God’s Word for answers. Johnson encourages readers to enter God’s story with their own story in mind in an attempt to see questionsand answers become one. This resource is probably best used for small-group discussions rather than individual study.
