What is the best way to guide them to personalize their faith?Worship-Centered Teaching will help you teach your teens to put faith and worship into practice in everyday life. Help them take their faith beyond the walls of the church as you guide your teenagers into the story of God. Worship-Centered Teaching provides both a theological foundation for youth ministry and practical advice for teaching spiritual growth.

Worship-Centered Teaching: Guiding Youth to Discover Their Identity in Christ

Leaving home for college can be intimidating. A messy roommate (or maybe a neat-freak roommate), leaving old friends, all-night study sessions, finding a new church home near campus--these thoughts can make even the bravest college freshman weak in the knees. But college also provides the opportunity to gain lifelong friends, the joy of learning and discovery, and the fulfillment that comes from preparing to obey the call of God. Dorm Room Devotions is written by college professors who know what it’s like to come to campus as a jittery new student. They felt this way too when they were college freshman wondering just what they were getting into. And they continue to encounter these emotions every fall when the freshman class arrives on campus. Because they know the problems, challenges, and opportunities that come from attending college, they have pooled their collective wisdom to offer inspiring and thought-provoking advice. Drawing upon Scripture, theology, and life experience, they offer sound guidance on how to navigate the college experience. College. Rather than feeling intimidated, students who read Dorm Room Devotions can learn to explore the countless opportunities, and make these the best four (or five, or six!) years of their lives.
