Good Ideas

This book is a good resource to get students talking before starting before doing a small group or Sunday School class.

A must for every paid and volunteer youthworker

We recently took "Choose Your Top 3" to our summer middle school camp and it proved to be an invaluable resource to get students talking without much preparation. Like most events there are times when we you need to improvise because of technical difficulties, weather or poor planning. "Choose Your Top 3" is a great fallback. Schulenburg does an excellent job detailing ways in which the youth leader might use this book, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that this is a great way to get students talking and sharing. If you intend to get into students' world, then this is one of many tools you need in your toolbox. We are purchasing this book for all of our small group leaders in order to better equip them with simple ways to get students talking. I recommend that other youthworkers do the same!
