Should we use a topical study or a book study? This is a common question when planning a Bible study. Crabtree and company have provided a great service by uniting these two approaches in a curriculum filled with 100-plus studies that walk students through 15 books of the New Testament in a topical manner.
Reading through a particular book, each lesson focuses on the primary topic of a passage beginning with a relevant object lesson icebreaker. The authors also provide media suggestions for including video clips that relate to the topic of the study. Discussion questions and talking points are offered to spark lively conversations among the group and each lesson ends with a Real-Life Connection that challenges students to apply what they have learned to their own lives.
This is an excellent resource for walking students through the New Testament in a way that is dynamic, compelling and relevant to the lives of teenagers.
