Sex is everything. Sex is nothing. So which is it? The way some people talk, you'd think sex is like food--three meals a day or else we starve and die. On the other hand, you know sex definitely isn't nothing. It's too potent, too instinctive to simply deny. Sooner or later, everybody deals with it. This journal, What (Almost) Nobody Will Tell You About Sex, is a whole-person approach to your sexuality and God. In other words, sex is more than pelvises and plumbing. Sexuality is woven throughout all of you--your body, your mind, your spirit. It's the way we're wired. The way God wired us. Which means that if you want the ultimate enjoyment from sex--the right person, the right time, the right motives--you've got to appreciate and work with that body-mind-spirit connection. And this journal helps you do just that, with large doses of your own perceptions about sexuality and insight from the Bible--insight that just may surprise you, from the One who wired you to be a sexual being in the first place. Here's some of the stuff you'll find inside: Sextalk--Cultural and biblical messages about sex Sexual identity--How people think about sexuality Intimacy--Dating and nonsexual closeness Desire--The difference between appetites and needs Boundaries--How far is too far? Responsibility--Our sexual responsibilities to God and each other Do-overs -- Mercy, repentance, forgiveness, and restoration

Good Sex: What (Almost) Nobody Will Tell You About Sex

Self-Help

How teenage girls can combat the world's definition of self-image through a biblical understanding of who they are If there is a teenage girl who feels comfortable with her body and appearance, the authors have yet to meet her. This book helps explain where that dissatisfaction comes from, from media like MTV, magazines, and advertisements. It then gives girls a healthy biblical perspective on physical appearance, concluding that the only real way for girls to experience lasting acceptance of their bodies is to look at how God has created them and how he intends for them to love others and themselves. Through their own vulnerability and personal stories, the authors help girls realize they are not the only ones who feel so poorly about themselves. This revolutionary book is written more like a conversation than a lecture and presents the topics and the biblical passages about self-image in new and fresh ways.

Payne, Kendall

'You know that the key to a strong youth group is your volunteer team. And the key to a strong team of volunteers is a common vision and passion for both teenagers and the ministry. Unfortunately, you probably also know what a struggle it can be to get that vision out of your own head and into the hearts of your volunteer team. Too often, we youth pastors schedule regular meetings with our adult volunteers and small group leaders with good intentions, but these meetings often degenerate into a string of announcements about upcoming events and leave out the things that lead to deeper ministry. This unique, research-based training resource addresses the needs of you and your volunteer leaders and includes the voices of influential youth ministry veterans. Designed to focus on a key monthly issue over nine months, Essential Leadership provides you with insight and tools to make ministry team meetings work, and to engage all your leaders in discussion that will take both the ministry and the students deeper by exploring: * Your ministry's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats * Integrating students into the life of the church * Effective family ministry * Holistic ministry * Giving and receiving mentoring * Getting the rest you need * Deep justice * Helping kids who are hurting * Giving your kids a faith that lasts Using this leader's guide along with the companion participant's guide will strengthen your youth ministry leadership team so that together you can make a deeper impact on the lives of teenagers.'

As you engage in a different discussion each month, you'll discover how to take both the ministry and students deeper by exploring: * Your ministry's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats * Integrating students into the life of the church * Effective family ministry * Holistic ministry * Giving and receiving mentoring * Getting the rest you need * Deep justice * Helping kids who are hurting * Giving your kids a faith that lasts Essential Leadership will strengthen your youth ministry team and make a deeper impact on the lives of teenagers.'

SALVANDO A UNA GENERACIÓN DE UN MUNO SUPERFICIAL te mostrará una nueva manera de reflexionar en las preguntas que encaras en tu ministerio juvenil cada día y de esa forma podrás encontrar las respuestas que te llevaran a un nivel más profundo. Los reconocidos autores Chap Clark y Kara Powell han desarrollado una importante investigación que echa por tierra preconceptos e ideas que han estancado a muchos ministerios juveniles. ¿Sabías que… • La estrategia típica que usamos para construir relaciones con jóvenes puede causar que ellos confíen menos en nosotros, por lo que a esta generación le ha tocado vivir? • Investigaciones recientes sobre la comunicación podrían ayudarnos a dejar atrás esas ingeniosas conversaciones y divertidas historias en las cuales trabajamos tan duro, y en lugar de eso, conectar directamente la Biblia a la vida de nuestros jóvenes? • Estudios muestran que ofreciendo a los jóvenes y no ayudándoles en los desafíos que encaran en la casa, la escuela y su vecindario, tal vez no les está ayudando mucho? Los autores de este precioso material desarrollan un diseño profundo y revolucionario que te dará mejores herramientas para encarar y resolver los problemas que encontrarás en el ministerio juvenil. Kara y Chap trabajan juntos con el objetivo de estudiar y generar investigaciones que pueden proveer entrenamiento y recursos prácticos y accesibles para pastores de jóvenes y familia. Este libro va a cambiar, construir y dinamizar tus paradigmas en el ministerio con los jóvenes.
