Sunday School
In the past my church typically paid over $500 a year for Sunday School material for our 6-12 youth. I bought this book and have been using it for Sunday school material for the past 14 weeks and love it.I rarely use the activities because my class (middle school boys) doesn't really get into that kind of stuff but it is great to just go through the Bible chapter by chapter. I assign my class to read the next chapter during the week so that we can come to Sunday school and talk about the chapter we just read.I typically just use the objective, background, scripture, study questions, talking points and sometimes the real life connection. It provides us with plenty to talk about.I would recommend this to anyone who only needs a few ideas in order to get things going.

Great Tool
Preparing many weekly group lessons and keeping them interesting for our teens was a hard task, always feeling I was needing to do more or come up with some creative idea on my own. Then I accidentally ordered Vol 2, and sat on it for many months before I used a lesson with some modifications of my own and the teens loved it. Now I use these interactive lessons for our Wednesday classes, or when I need a short devo idea. These books have been a lifesaver freeing up so much time when my creativity has ran low.Benefits:1. All lessons are in the same layout so easy to go through.2. Easy to customize.3. Great interactive lessons, the teens love them even when they say "that was stupid" they laughed and now remember the lesson.4. Easier for me to keep their attention.What not to do:1. Grab a lesson an hour before class. (You still need to spend time making it your own for your teens).2. Lecture afterwards, make it a discussion.

youth group gathering book
The book offers good talking points.I wish the book raised questions that teens can relate to their own reality at school and in the relationship with parents.

Great resource
The lessons are thorough with plenty of extras to make the lessons last longer if you need them to, but basics of each lesson can take around 15 minutes if your on a time crunch
