Today's students need a personal connection to the Bible and the skill set to read, hear, and receive God's Word. This second phase of the 12-week First Book Challenge curriculum equips teens to memorize Scripture, think through important issues, and look to God's Word first for the answers to life's problems. As part of the challenge, students are encouraged to give Bibles to their friends so they, too, can learn what it means to make God's Word their First Book. And to help them share the Bible, ALIVE comes with a special edition of The Message Use as a 12-week curriculum or at a weekend retreat with eight weeks of follow-up lessons.
