In the tradition of The Little Rascals and The Sandlot, this rollicking comedy brings home all the fun and laughter of summer vacation, when anything can happen and everything is possible. What starts out as a boring day for Bobby (Evan Gabriel), Johnnie (Shaun Poremba) and Chuck (Seth Fjerstad) quickly escalates into a riotous backyard adventure. A swarming beehive, a lawn mower with a mind of its own, a mysterious junkman and the neighborhood bully are just some of the hilarious encounters these close-knit friends will experience on a day that began with the classic kid question of all time: "What do you guys wanna do?"
In this book, Sean Dunn catalogs what he's seen of apathy in his ministry to youth. Teenagers can be frustratingly sleepy in their faith, but once these slumbering giants are awakened to a life with God, they can apply virtually tireless energy to the problems of a world bored with God. And their energy is particularly contagious.
Often quoted by Chuck Swindoll, Charles Stanley, Billy Graham and other great preachers, A.W. Tozer's words are being heard and read by millions today-words like:Always and always God must be first. The gospel in its scriptural context puts the glory of God first and the salvation of man second....Anything that begins anywhere else, whatever it is, is certainly not New Testament Christianity. Chapter 4, The Key to Human Life Is Theological.The influence of the erotic spirit is felt almost everywhere in evangelical circles. Much of the singing in certain types of meetings has in it more of romance than it has of the Holy Ghost....Christ is courted with a familiarity that reveals a total ignorance of who He is. It is not the reverent intimacy of the adoring saint but the impudent familiarity of the carnal lover. Chapter 8, the Erotic vs. The Spiritual.God will allow His servant to succeed when he has learned that success does not make him dearer to God nor more valuable in the total scheme of things. Chapter 13, Faith Dares to Fail.The chapters of this book were originally published as editorials in Alliance Life magazine. These incisive columns now make provocative reading.

The 'Geared for Growth' Bible study notes have been in use around the world for a number of years. They have been shown to be a very useful format for home study groups and personal devotions. Each subject is introduced and then broken down into questions for the group leader or individual. There are also points for reflection and prayer. The subjects are divided up as daily questions for the individual, allowing you to meditate on the topic for the week in preparation for meeting together. Alternatively these can be treated just as a series of questions for groups.

Each chapter has "takeaways," making this book suitable for use as a focus book for a weeken retreat or a five-week group study. Ideal gift for mothers or mentors.
