Not just for young teens!

I'm a college student who knows her way around the Bible, and I still found this study to be enlightening (not to mention more fun than all that dreary adult stuff). The focus is on developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Kevin Johnson has a rather unique style which is usually humorous (like a lesson titled "I Wanna Be a Sheep")but can get cloying (i.e. misspelling words to seem cooler). Behind the joking around, there's sound teaching which gets the reader into a Bible passage, complete with all the study notes, definitions, cultural explanations, etc. to understand and go deeper. There's also journaling and suggestions for life application, and stodgy youth pastors will like the discussion questions and pre-printed Bible verse memorization cards in the back, keyed to the lessons. I'd also recommend this to new believers who are still getting bogged down with all that symbolism and terminology, but don't want a hyper-serious doctrine course. I'm definitely going to order more books in this series.
