We just finished studying a great book with some of our youth called Dug Down Deep: Building Your Life on Truths that Last by Joshua Harris. The newest edition (paperback) comes with a group discussion guide in the back of the book.
This book is a theology primer and was perfect for teaching our kids about the study of God and why it matters. Each chapter discusses a different theological principle and its significance in our lives.
While it is simple enough for high-schoolers to understand, this book is not “watered-down” in any way. Tad and I both gleaned a lot from it personally as we studied it in order to teach it!
Here’s a quick promo video (that’s pretty fun to watch) that explains more about the book:
We had four students go through the book with us (two of them are pictured above), with a couple of visitors now and then too. We met on Saturday mornings over breakfast and many times some of the youth stayed to hang out long after the study itself was over! We treasure times like those.
Tad and I both highly recommend Dug Down Deep either for personal study or for a small group discussion! It would also make a great gift for graduates.
