The Ideas Factory: 100 discussion starters to get teens talking

By Martin Saunders

Book Overview

Here are 100 adaptable discussion starters. A brief story, usually factual, is followed by a series of provocative questions. 100 double-page spreads contain a story on the left-hand page and questions on the right. Stories explore a topic pertinent to young people, e.g. drugs, truancy, parental relationships; or an important biblical concept, e.g. giving, the afterlife, love. Questions begin with general discussion and move on to what the Bible has to say. Extra questions are included for use with unchurched young people. The last 25 discussion starters provide a journey through the main stories and themes of the Bible.

Great for Teen Devotionals!

I've just started using this book for regular devotions with my kids (15, 14, and 12). The book has good short stories (1 page) that are relevant to today's teen; also good discussion questions and scripture references. It is perfect for this age level. My kids have enjoyed the stories so far, and it really has provided a format for us to have some great family discussions that lead into the more important topics about faith, God, the Bible, etc. If you've been wanting to have meaningful conversations with your kids, this is a wonderful resource to help you begin. Many thanks to the author and publisher!!
