In addition, this volume of BookMarks
includes one four-session unit with the seasonal focus on Advent/Christmas.
Each session offers teaching tips along with simple-to-use outlines
for leaders that consist of six sections:
Setting the Stage
Telling the Story
Reactions to the Story
Connections to the Story
Exploring the Story
Living the Story
This all-in-one format provides reproducible handouts for learners,
eliminating the need for a separate student piece. As an elective
series, BookMarks sessions can easily be used in a variety
of settings—Sunday school, youth groups, or retreats—to
give youth access to the Bible in a way that challenges them to
discover meaning and relevance for their own lives.
Designed to be used independently or in conjunction with Bible
Quest: A Bible Story Curriculum for All Ages, BookMarks
uses the importance of the biblical story to form a complete guide
that provides the kind of exciting Bible explorations needed to
capture the attention of older youth.
