Challenging Students to See Life from God’s POV
Mary Grace Becker & Susan Martins Miller
Shocking and Scandalous and Dark and Disturbing draw middle
schoolers into Bible events that will have them asking, “Is that
really in the Bible?” Middle schoolers face moral and ethical issues that, they may be surprised to find, were just as relevant in Bible times as they are today: dysfunctional stepfamily relationships, broken trust, dating issues, hate crimes, illicit sex, alcohol abuse, and more.
Middle school leaders tell us they need more material with multiple options. As undated curriculum, these lessons (13 in each book) aim for depth, interaction, a strong biblical basis, and multiple options that use short segments to keep attention spans from wandering.
Director’s Commentary—catch the key ideas of the lesson and background of the Bible story Preview—use a drama, role play, icebreaker game, or hands-on project to lead into lively discussion of a modern-day dilemma that echoes the Bible story Feature Presentation—have your students read and discuss Scripture using the “Outtakes” hand- out and group journal to examine the tough choices people made and the consequences they faced Critics’ Corner—wrap up by reinforcing the POV (point of view) through deep discussion, a fun team-building activity, and prayer Interactive DVD—show a clip that speaks your teens’ language and gets them talking
Use Shocking and Scandalous Stories from the Bible and Dark and Disturbing Stories from the Bible
to EMPOWER students to make GOD-HONORING CHOICES when they face PG-13-type challenges!
