12 character studies from the Old Testament that reveal surprisingly modern emotions, decisions and dilemmas in the lives of individuals like David and Rahab, Daniel and Ruth - all of whom ultimately love Jehovah in a way today's teens can understand.
Are they the Dirty or the Devout Dozen? Maybe they're both! These 12 Old Testament characters are as capable of both selfless and selfish actions as we are. All the emotions, dilemmas, choices, and challenges we face today, they faced too. Abraham setting his faith in motion. Job grappling with the reality of suffering. Ruth living out her commitment. David standing for the truth at any cost. These character studies reveal the best and the worst of men and women just like us, who showed their love for God in ways that set the pace for junior and senior high students today.
But this book is hardly some dusty, musty study. It's full of reproducible materials - games with a purpose; discussion sparkers for small groups; scripts for role plays, spontaneous melodramas and dramatic sketches; references to film clips; and a truckload of creative Bible readings. It's an energizing way for youth leaders to help teens draw the connection between the characters of the Bible and the self-character teens are building today.

What's the most boring thing you can think of? Okay, now multiply it by a
zillion.
That's how boring a lot of people think the Bible
is.
The funny thing is, most people who think the Bible's mega
mind-numbingly boring have never even read it! Crazy or what?! Imagine turning
down a triple whopper chicken, cheese and yoghurt burger with gherkin and
custard relish just because you'd never tried it....
On second thoughts
that wasn't such a good suggestion. But you get the point? I bet you didn't even
know that the Bible's got adverts in it to tell people what's going to happen in
the future or that it told people that the world was round thousands of years
before we'd worked it out. There's so much stuff in the Bible that you won't be
able to look at every bit of it but the bits chosen will hopefully make you
start to realise that the Bible maybe isn't quite so boring as you thought. Have
fun!
The Boring Bible is a successful children's series. Crammed
full of cartoons, jokes, the young in heart of every age will learn more about
the Bible from reading these than any number of sermons or commentaries. 6
titles cover the Bible itself, from Genesis to Revelation, and each year we
bring out new titles on aspects of what being a Christian is all about.
Particularly suitable for ages 7-15
