Jesus calls students to a radical faith and commitment. This study guide challenges middle and high school students to courageously take a stand for their faith in their culture, and to make a positive impact at home, at school, on the team, and in their relationships. The time to make a difference is now--not when they graduate, get married, or get a job.

Features include:

• 8 sessions of study, easily adapted into two 4-week sessions
