Teaching the Bible Creatively

Rating:
Summary: Pass it around to all the teachers
Review: "Teaching the Bible Creatively" is an excellent tool for teachers (and I mean all Christian Education teachers and not just youth teachers, who are the main target of the publisher). I personally make it available to all my teachers because of its simple ideas that consistently make teachers better. The ideas aren't anything ground breaking but they do show how simple changes can get a teacher excited about teaching and when that happens you will have a class that is excited about learning. There are at least 50 practical programs spread through the book, but I believe its greatest assest is the fact that this book stresses why it is so important for teachers to be creative. The book also makes practical suggestions on how teachers can make themselves more creative (such as, always carry a notepad around and write down any idea you have, etc.) If you want some inspiration and a few good ideas read this book.

Summary: An excellent book for every church youth worker.
Review: This book will inspire and motivate even the most experienced youth workers. It is full of creative ideas and teaching methodoligies for youth ministry. Mabry and McNabb, writing from the perspective of their rich background of personal experiences, have put together a book that every youth worker should have in his or her library. Whether you are planning curriculum for the church year or just looking for a quick idea for that night's lesson, this is the book for you.

Summary: Best teenage source book we use
Review: We teach a group of teenagers, 7-9th grade plus some older, in a weekly class approaching Confirmation and also after Confirmation. While we, ourselves, teach in an Episcopal setting, this book is appropriate for any demonination. This book is without a doubt the best teaching resource book we have used. It focuses on how you teach rather than providing week by week lesson plans. Lots of ideas. The Quiz section is a fun challenge for students of any age. We recently tried it on our parents as well! Do not miss this book!
