The format is very effective. It does not `preach` to youth, but rather teaches youth to turn to the Bible and search out answers to difficult, real-world issues that they face. Each topic is displayed on two facing pages, the left taking the `NO` position, and the right taking the `YES` position. Basic tenants and concepts supporting each stance are outlined, and specific Bible verses are cited. In our group, we started each hour session by reading the topic, briefly clarifying the issue, and `voting` on it. Every member had to take a position on their own... yes, no, or `walk like an Egyptian` (not sure.) Then we moved through the discussion, referring to the listed Bible verses. At the end of the hour, we reviewed what we had learned by taking another vote.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Stephen Parolini</note> <subject> <topic>Church group work with teenagers</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">268.433</classification> <classification authority="ddc">S828-P26</classification> <identifier type="isbn">1559451564</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/4/5/z3317532687148_77a3ffd5eae85832350aabb16345c676.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/4/5/z3317532687148_77a3ffd5eae85832350aabb16345c676.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070605.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
