The story that began with the coming of Jesus didn’t end when he rose again and ascended to heaven—you might say it was just getting started. In the book of Acts, we find out that the story of redemption that started with Jesus’ death and resurrection continued in new, unexpected ways when the Holy Spirit was unleashed on his followers. And the story continues today! Christians on the Move will guide you through 12 sessions of dynamic study through the book of Acts, the Bible’s record of the church’s earliest days.
When Jesus came to earth, his presence forever changed the course of history. Both God and man, human and divine, Jesus lived, died, and rose from the grave—and the world has never been the same. Discover Jesus in the Pages of the Bible features insights on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John from the classic Bible handbook What the Bible Is All About by Dr. Henrietta C. Mears.
The beginnings of the Christian story are told in the first five books of the Bible, where we meet Adam, Eve, Abraham, Sarah, Joseph, Moses, and the ancient Israelites, who were liberated by God from slavery in Egypt and chose to be a light to all the nations. Founders of Our Faith will guide you through 12 sessions of dynamic study through the books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
When Henrietta Mears began her ministry in Hollywood, California, in the 1930s, she was facing several challenges. Sixty percent of children at the time were not attending a church of any sort.

Is your church ready to reach the next generation for Christ? Are you passionate to help people of all ages enter the kingdom of God? The church is still perfectly suited to carry out the mission that God has given it. This book will show you how.
Sunday school is here to stay because it still works. It is ‘big business’ because it remains centered on God’s business.
—Jack Eggar, president/CEO, Awana
Sunday School Changed Everything is a great tool to help revitalize the Sunday school movement and bring solid biblical teaching back into the local church.
—Elmer Towns, cofounder, Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA
