Synopsis

10 steps to help young people develop their spiritual roots. Packed with practical activities, engaging stories, and relevant explanations, this photocopiable resource will be a powerful tool to help young people develop a deep-rooted and lasting faith. Martin believes that many young believers today practise a dangerously brittle faith. They need to be led deeper, to a faith sustained not by the personalities of their leaders or by the hype of big events, but by a disciplined direct relationship with God. This book will help youth leaders to teach their teenagers to pray, study the Bible, live more simply, and discover the value in other ancient disciplines such as fasting, solitude, study and worship. There are 10 short chapters, one for each session. Each begins with background information for the leader, then provides a photocopiable study section with practical exercises. Each includes questions suitable for discussion in small groups.
