Religion For Teens

Today's teens are being shaped by the pressures and disappointments of the world. But Max Lucado encourages them to take a close look at what can shape their hearts and their futures from the inside out - God's grace. As Max explains, "God’s grace has a drenching about it. A wildness about it. A whitewater, riptide, turn-you-upside-downness about it. Grace comes after you." Wild Grace gives teens an understanding of how grace can change their lives in powerful ways, even when those lives are messed up, off track, or in trouble.

The very popular prayer book for Orthodox youth Hear Me has now been revised to include more prayers, answer more questions, and tackle additional difficult subject matter with which our young people are constantly faced.

The New York Times bestseller Do the New You is easy to understand and accessible to younger audiences, but it’s written with an adult audience in mind. The stories and examples through the book talk about things like marriage, investing, and career—topics that don’t necessarily resonate with younger audiences. Elevation Church—both the physical locations and its online presence—skews young, and has a big following among junior high and high school students. To better reach this audience, Pastor Furtick is partnering with his three teenage children to create a teen edition of the book.

Caleb was born a Hebrew slave in ancient Egypt. Pharaoh's taskmasters humiliated him with hard labor in an attempt to suppress his spirit so he would never rebel. God sent Moses to lead the Hebrews to freedom. They followed Moses to freedom but lacked the spiritual strength to advance into and conquer the beautiful land of Canaan that God had promised to them. Moses sent 12 spies into Canaan. These spies reported that the land was as good as God had said it would be. But, 10 of the spies discouraged the people. They claimed that the people living in Canaan were too powerful to conquer.
