Burst: World Religions Leader's Guide: Short-Term Teen Studies

• Four lessons that explore the practices, beliefs, and emphases of Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism
• Youth study how each tradition differs from Christianity as well as where they share common ground.
• Includes ideas, instructions, and suggestions for arranging trips to other houses of worship or inviting guest speakers to discuss other faith traditions.
• Sessions involve provocative discussion starters, experiential learning activities, games, snacks, and options for breaking into small groups.

Each short-term study includes 4-6 weeks worth of material and is ideal for Sunday school or Wednesday night youth group.  Components include a Leader's Guide, a package of five pocket-sized student booklets, and a Web-based resource (www.Burst.AbingdonYouth.com) providing articles, fact sheets, handouts, and links to other relevant Web resources.  Topics appeal both to teens and youth ministers and address the need for inexpensive, practical studies.
