Signal Fire : A Guide To Putting Prayer Into Practice
$15.99Add to cartPrayer is the key to knowing and communicating with God, unlocking a lifelong faith and being the primary bedrock of Christian faith.
Signal Fire explores the myriad of different ways in which we can connect with God, both together and alone. This handy guide provides opportunities to try out different aspects of prayer, equipping young people with a prayer life of their own.
Prayer is a refuge in times when everything else is failing; it’s a compass when we’re lost and a firework when we’re joy-struck. Prayer is the subject of a thousand distinct metaphors, and they’re all both true and insufficient. Why? Because prayer is direct connection with God, and the pathway to making sense of life itself.
Signal Fire encourages young people to develop a life of prayer and connection with God and invest in this key practice of lasting faith. Martin Saunders, Director of Innovation at Youthscape, writes an accessible and practical book for teenagers with some points for reflection and discussion at the end of each chapter.
This book can be used alone by a young person or used by youth workers to work through with a group.

Beautiful Disciplines : 12 Steps To Help Young People Develop Their Spiritu
$18.99Add to cartA practical resource book to help youth leaders to introduce the ancient spiritual disciplines to teenagers.
Packed with practical activities, engaging stories, and relevant explanation, this photocopiable resource will be a powerful tool to help young people develop a deep-rooted and lasting faith. Martin believes that many young believers today practise a dangerously brittle faith. They need to be led deeper, to a faith rooted not in the personalities of their leaders or the hype of big events, but in a disciplined direct relationship with God. This book provides practical tools to help youth leaders to teach their teenagers to pray, study the Bible, live more simply, and discover the value in other ancient disciplines such as fasting, solitude, study, worship and celebration. There are 10 short chapters, each suitable for one session. Each begins with background information for the leader, then provides a study section with practical exercises. Each concludes with questions suitable for discussion in small groups.
