    Jesus-Book Club


    My son is a classic example: he and his wife (they're aged 31) went to church about 6 times,  got alongside the minister and had their little daughter baptised about 18 months ago. "How are you getting on with St Luke's" I asked him recently. "Well, y'know Dad, it just doesn't really do it for me."

    Sound familiar? Adult education that recognises the age of iphones and all the internet opportunities, is a real challenge to the Christian faith community.  For all this, young adults still come to be married, bring their children for baptism and for religious education - so they are 'showing interest'.  Yet we struggle to capture this interest - so many such young adults prove not to be ready for the discipline of our customary church services.

     

    So - how do we engage such young interested adults? They seek involvement - not merely to be preached at.

     

    The Jesus-Book Club builds on the Book Club formula - offering relaxed, open, searching debate amongst the participants. For the clergy there is merely a watching role.

     

    BUT the Jesus-Book Club debate is built on the teachings of Jesus as presented in the animated video series The Storykeepers.  Nominally a 'kids video' this series offers a theologically sound introduction to the gospel texts without making adults feel threatened or inadequate. Video also recognises that we are no longer primarily a literate culture.

     

    The Jesus-Book Club offers a Level 1 opportunity and at a minimal cost. We suggest you explore the pdfs.

    Mesa Redonda con Jesus is the Latino version.

    Cheapest entry to The Storykeepers is the I Remember When DVD set. The teaching kit costs more but with all 47 Jesus stories 'cued up' offers so much more for the teacher or minister. Order Online.
