Synopsis

With more than forty-five years of ministry experience between them, authors Dave Edwards and John Stamper have created First Book Challenge, a curriculum that equips teens to turn to the Bible first as the authority in their lives.

As part of the challenge, students are encouraged to give Bibles to their friends so they, too, can learn what it means to make God’s Word their First Book. And to help them share the Bible, VAST comes with a special edition of The Message!

First Book Challenge is divided into three phases and can be used as a twelve-week curriculum or at a weekend retreat with eight weeks of follow-up lessons.
