SPRING 2011

Preteen SuperStart! A Preteen Curriculum is an exciting, relevant

curriculum designed just for preteens! Preteens are between childhood and adolescence—thinking, acting, relating, and learning in their own way.

They want to experience God, not just talk about him. They are searching for a way to express their spirituality.

• Easy-to-use lesson plans connect preteens to God’s Word • Humorous video clips correlate with and introduce each lesson • Cool student magazines and a Web site with lots of free resources!

Christ in Youth student ministries and Standard Publishing teamed up to provide this easy-to-use large group/small group curriculum. Each session integrates Scripture study, Scripture memory, DVD segments, fun activities, meaningful worship, and relevant life application to help preteens internalize the truths of God’s Word and prepare them to live their lives for Jesus throughout the teen years and beyond.

Helping Kids Pray 52 Creative Ways to Help Kids Talk to God This unique, hands-on book of ideas for use in children’s ministry will show elementary-age children that prayer is powerful, effective, and exciting! Fifty-two unique types of prayer are described, examples are given, and helps are provided to guide leaders and parents as they teach children how to pray.

• Anticipate God’s answers to their prayers • Thank God for what he has done and continues to do This can be done in fresh ways that hold the attention of children. Prayer is powerful, effective, and exciting! It does not have to be, and should not be, boring or stale.

Leading Young Hearts to the Lord The most natural relationship for passing on faith is between parent and child, but faith can also grow out of a loving relationship between a child and a teacher, minister, or other interested adult.

Leading Young Hearts to the Lord provides 12 sessions that can be used by churches for elementary kids who are asking questions about making a faith commitment.

Leading Young Hearts to the Lord ISBN: 978-0-7847-1869-8 $24.99 • 42303

Materials are written with 3rd–6th graders in mind—children who can read and look for answers in Scripture and who can connect Scripture’s teaching to their own lives.

Inside Out & Upside Down on Main Street is a fun, easy, biblically based VBS that any church can use. Whether site-based or classroom-based, it is full of options and is easy to use. Kids learn the daily Word on the Street and how they can make a difference right where they live!

Through multisensory experiences at every site, kids and adults alike will learn what it means to turn their world inside out and upside down for Jesus!

Main Street is where you live, work, shop, play, or go to school. Your Main Street may be a small town or big city, country or urban, but everyone has a Main Street in their life. Jesus shared the good news on the main streets of His day and lived an inside-out and upside-down life. His teachings were counterintuitive and challenged the average thinking of the day with statements like, “the last shall be first,” “the least shall be the greatest,” “you must be born again,” “give to receive,” “love your enemies,” and more. Today He invites everyone, whether children or adults, to do the same thing.

While at Inside Out & Upside Down on Main Street, kids will experience the parables Jesus told about ordinary people in ordinary situations who acted in extraordinary ways. Jesus turned lives upside down and hearts inside out through stories that challenged people to look at themselves and others in new and unexpected ways.

Kids will love the fun games, memorable Bible songs, and hands-on projects. Children’s ministry leaders will love the biblically solid teaching they expect from Standard Publishing, the ease of decoration, and seeing kids get into the Bible.

So come join us on Main Street for an inside-out, upside-down experience like no other . . . where Jesus makes a difference every day!

New and improved for 2011 VBS! This new kit box is a strong, durable, reusable plastic file organizer for all your supplies and VBS items!

The accompanying discussion guide is designed to fuel greater interest in science and the Bible through relevant questions, journaling, and activities.

schoolers into Bible events that will have them asking, “Is that really in the Bible?” Middle schoolers face moral and ethical issues that, they may be surprised to find, were

just as relevant in Bible times as they are today: dysfunctional stepfamily relationships, broken trust, dating issues, hate crimes, illicit sex,

alcohol abuse, and more. Each book comes with

an interactive DVD with video clips that will get your teens talking.

Trust is the foundation of all good relationships, leadership, and ministry. But most of us have never been taught how to build it—or, harder still, how to restore it.

Trust Building will help ministers, elders, deacons, committee members, ministry teams, missionaries, small groups, and potential leaders learn how to: • identify unintentional trust-busting habits.

• improve intentional trust-building communication skills.

• break invisible barriers that lead to disrespect and misunderstanding.

• increase cooperation and lower frustration.

The Trust Building kit includes five participant guides and a training DVD.

Relentless Hope

Author: Beth Guckenberger ISBN: 978-0-7847-3178-9 $14.99 • 025471011

Extracting the Precious from the Worthless In this nonfiction title, author Beth Guckenberger, known for her powerful storytelling, presents modern-day accounts of those who have felt confused, lost, hurt, abandoned . . . and yet have found hope. Hope in feeling the presence of God’s hand in their journeys. Hope in finding out they are not alone. Hope in knowing that God is writing the story of our lives—and the story’s not over yet.

Beth’s compelling stories—interwoven with the wisdom of Scripture—will resonate with anyone seeking to find purpose in the midst of pain.

This story-driven book:

• delivers honest testimonies from unique voices whose stories are living and real—they don’t all have “happy endings,” but they all carry truth and hope.

• speaks to all types of people who are hurting: parents agonizing over prodigal children; addicts; people enduring physical, mental, or spiritual suffering; and people who have lost something—parents, spouses, family, jobs, innocence, a chance . . . their way.

• brings up challenging questions and sticky situations that we are often afraid to face.

• is written by a compelling, dynamic storyteller who lives on the edge and exemplifies with integrity what it means to trust God in the midst of a myriad of challenges.

Written by Women’s Conference keynote speaker at North American Christian Convention 2011, it’s great for small groups, counselors, families, or individuals. It includes a recurring “The Story Isn’t Over” sidebar throughout the book.

Finding the Fabulous in Every Day Author: Brenda Garrison ISBN: 978-0-7847-2118-6 $14.99 • 24340

Recognizing that it’s very unusual for a man to write a book for women, author Mark Atteberry still felt compelled to do so. So Much More Than Sexy is his attempt to set the record straight about what men are looking for. He contends that the common adage “All men are interested in is sex” simply isn’t true. What is true is that Satan has used this insidious lie to confuse women, to batter their self-esteem, and ultimately to pressure them into making unfortunate lifestyle choices.

Everybody has a Small World experience—it’s called family. Stuck doesn’t even begin to describe how you may be feeling. Your family circumstances are not unique—they’ve existed since Bible times. This book offers a hopeful look at how you can break the cycle of dysfunction and rewrite the music of your family’s repetitive song.

Stuck in a Small World

Staying on Board with Your Not-So-Unique Yet Throughly Dysfunctional Family Author: Steve Wyatt ISBN: 978-0-7847-2111-7 $12.99 • 24330

We may long for what we remember as a simpler existence. But the innocence of Mayberry never existed. Everything in our culture is changing. Too often, Christ’s followers respond by throwing up their hands in despair, withdrawing from the world, and thus forfeiting their influence. But that isn’t how Jesus called us to live—he wants us to engage our culture and bring his impact on it. In this collection of blogs and essays, cultural and media analyst Dr. Walt Mueller wrestles with what it means for God’s people and the world to meet.

In this work of allegorical fantasy, author Joe Boyd takes us on a pilgrimage to a land of two kingdoms, but only one true King.

An ancient land, where children never grow old. A living land, where foundations grow in trees and rivers sing and breathe. But also a dying land, where the darkness of a false prince threatens to swallow everything in its shadow.

Between Two Kingdoms

Author: Joe Boyd ISBN: 978-0-7847-2358-6 $9.99 • 021530210

Enter the adventure of Between Two Kingdoms with Tommy, an eternally seven-year-old child of the Great King, as he and his friends accept the challenge of the Good Prince to live as grown men and women in the Lower Kingdom—where hope is hidden, vision is clouded, and pride twists truth into a beautiful yet deadly deception.

In Jesus’ day, eating with someone acknowledged that person as an equal. Religious leaders considered it unthinkable for a Jewish teacher to eat with common people. But Jesus cared more about saving souls than saving face.

So who are you eating with? Eats with Sinners introduces a biblical model for sharing Christ—building relationships like Jesus did, one meal (or cup of coffee) at a time. Includes questions for discussion and recipes to share!
