Chap Clark offers today's youth leaders highly practical principles based on his extensive experience, showing how they can implement a sustainable youth ministry program in their local church.

Your kids need you

You need look no further than the latest headlines to realize that parenting has become more difficult―and kids of every age still need engaged, involved parents. Now, more than ever, your children need you

In this best-selling book, Dr. Charles Stanley reminds parents that their stewardship role in raising their children requires a hands-on presence. Are you interested―and participating―in their activities, or are you too busy? Do you treat their childhood crises with the importance they deserve, or are these events trivialized? Are you communicating to them your unconditional love? To keep your children on your team, Dr. Stanley asserts, you must let them know that you are on theirs.

Dr. Stanley guides you as you learn to create and maintain loving, loyal parent-child relationships, using these four main themes:

• Children are a gift from God.
• You should treat them with love and respect.
• You should hand down to them your faith, instilling in them moral values.
• You should demonstrate your own accountability to God.

By focusing on these things, you can raise confident, happy, self-controlled kids who will hold fast to the values you've taught them.

Enriched by personal anecdotes from this internationally known author, "How to Keep Your Kids on Your Team" is a must-have for today's Christian parents and includes a study and discussion guide at the end.

Bedingt durch gesellschaftliche Umwalzungen in den alten Bundeslandern und die politische Wende in der ehemaligen DDR ruckte die Frage nach der Begrundung und Gestaltung des schulischen Religionsunterrichts seit den 1990er Jahren verstarkt ins Interesse der OEffentlichkeit. Dabei kamen immer deutlicher auch die von staatlicher Seite an den Schulen eingerichteten sogenannten Ersatzfacher in den Blick. Die Frage nach Verhaltnisbestimmung und Zusammenarbeit des staatlich verantworteten Philosophie- und Ethikunterrichts mit den unterschiedlichen Angeboten von Religionsunterricht macht die Entwicklung schulorganisatorischer und didaktischer Perspektiven noetig. Diese Studie leistet einen Beitrag fur die Gestaltung religioeser und wertbezogener Lernprozesse an der Schule.

You pray it. But do you understand it? The Lord's Prayer has become so familiar to us that we don't think about what we're praying. It's a portrait of Jesus' heart. And in it Christians from different times, places, and traditions have been united. We pray it, but do we actually believe it? When Jesus taught his followers how to pray, he emphasized how uncomplicated it should be. There's no need for pretense or theatrics. Instead, simply ask for what you need as though you were speaking with your earthly father. This opens a window into Jesus' prayer life and presents us with a portrait of his heart for his followers. Wesley Hill re-introduces the Lord's Prayer. He shows us a God who is delighted to hear prayer. Petition by petition, in conversation with the Christian tradition, he draws out the significance of Jesus' words for prayer today.
